Critical technologies and geology-engineering integration practices for deep CBM production in the Yanchuannan CBM field by Zhenlong CHEN, Yunhai WANG, Xiao LIU, Bin CUI, Song YANG, Xin LI, Qilong FANG

“…Based on the concept of geology-engineering integration and the full life cycle of gas reservoir development that consists of well emplacement, well drilling and completion, reservoir stimulation, well tests and production, and gathering, transportation, and processing, the following outcomes were obtained: (1) Rational well spacing that matches reserves, well patterns, and fracture networks, increasing single-well producing reserves by 30% to 50%. (2) The optimal well drilling and completion technology focusing on speed increase and cost reduction, improving the drilling speed by 34%. (3) The low-pressure gathering and transportation technology involving high- and low-pressure gathering and transportation, three-stage pressurization, and inter-station connection, reducing the platform investment by 10.8% and the land use by 20%. …”

Key experimental technologies and their development directions for the exploration and production of deep coalbed methane by Xia YAN, Fengyin XU, Xianyue XIONG, Feng WANG, Chunhu LI, Jiyuan ZHANG, Borui XU, Qianhui CHENG, Xiong HU, Xueguang ZHU, Wei LIANG, Pu YUAN, Yanqing FENG, Zhenji WEI

“…ProspectsThis study posits seven development directions for deep CBM production and in-situ coal conversion experiments: (1) Clear, direct observation techniques for micropores (< 2 nm) in deep coal seams with ultra-low porosity and permeability, full-scale pore size splicing technology for multiscale pore structure characterized by abundant micropores, a few mesopores, and many macropores, and assessment techniques for pore-fracture connectivity. (2) Isothermal adsorption test technologies for raw coals considering the effects of deep coal seam wettability, fracturing fluid invasion, and high total dissolved solids (TDS) under high-temperature, high-pressure in-situ conditions; (3) Sealed coring devices and in-situ pressure-retaining coring technologies featuring high pressure retaining success rates, heat preservation rates, and traceable gas volume. (4) Nanoscience-based assessment technologies for gas and water occurrence in micropores in deep coal seams under high-temperature and high-pressure multi-field coupling, and experimental technologies for desorption, diffusion, and seepage across nano-micro-millimeter scales. (5) Techniques for developing and testing multifunctional mechanical experiment equipment applicable to in-situ conditions of deep coal seams featuring high stress, low modulus of elasticity, and high Poisson's ratio. (6) Experimental techniques for the purpose of enhancing CBM recovery of deep coal seams, including reservoir stimulation (microwaves, laser, and electric heating), stimulation for permeability enhancement (electromagnetic pulses, pulsed ultrasonic waves, and controlled shockwaves), displacement via CO2 injection, and mechanical pulsation with supercritical CO2. (7) Experimental techniques for in-situ coal conversion and utilization, including pyrolysis, underground coal gasification (UCG), geothermal utilization, and CO2 geological storage. …”
