Description

Method for heat insulation and preservation of coal seam in-situ coal gasification process
Technical field:
The invention belongs to the technical field of deep coal mining, and particularly relates to a heat insulation method in an in-situ coal gasification process.
The background technology is as follows:
the efficient and environment-friendly coal mining is a trend, and the transformation to a low-carbon green coal energy structure is an important choice for realizing the carbon-to-peak carbon neutralization. Wherein, the underground coal gasification is one of the important technical means of green and environment-friendly and efficient exploitation. Underground coal gasification is a process of generating combustible gases such as methane, hydrogen and the like in a deep coal seam through in-situ morphological transformation under controllable heat and chemical actions. The technology is mainly used for deep coal or steep coal seam exploitation, can effectively control the combustion speed and the combustion process, greatly improves the utilization rate of coal bed gas, and prevents the environment from being polluted because a large amount of ashes after coal combustion are remained underground. At present, a great deal of research and test work has been carried out on underground coal gasification, and abundant experience is accumulated and key indexes for influencing successful operation of underground coal gasification projects are accumulated. In practice, many tradeoffs and decisions are required to achieve efficient and safe operation of underground coal gasification projects. The coal underground gasification project high-efficiency safe operation can be influenced by coal seam geological conditions, monitoring of a combustion space area, monitoring and control technology of pollutants and the like while the performance is evaluated by comprehensively considering gasification efficiency, economy, environmental factors and the like.
The temperature in the gasification furnace can reach 1200 ℃, and the physical and mechanical properties of the coal bed and surrounding rock can be greatly changed at the temperature. In the whole process, the gasification agent is continuously injected to catalyze the reaction, the blast rate is increased to compensate the consumption and the dissipation of heat, and the gas heat value is kept to ensure that the gasification reaction is continuously and normally carried out. A portion of the thermal energy is transferred to the overburden, and the roof and floor must undergo structural changes due to temperature effects, resulting in an increase in fracture rate. Mainly shows that factors such as precipitation of water in pores, decomposition of minerals, thermal cracking and the like lead the inside of the overlying strata to form a water guide channel. Once moisture enters the gasification chamber, the gasification process is seriously affected and even terminated. The heat value of the gas is reduced, the influence on the establishment of a temperature field is larger, the gasification reaction rate is influenced to a certain extent, and the energy consumption is increased. During this process, a large amount of heat is generated in the deep coal seam and propagates to the periphery. Therefore, it is important to weaken the outward diffusion of the temperature in the gasification cavity and adopt a necessary technical method of cooling, heat insulation and heat preservation.
The invention comprises the following steps:
In the underground coal gasification process, the distance between a gasified coal bed and an aquifer must be considered, under the action of high temperature, the change of the crack structure of the inner hole of the overlying strata further leads to the improvement of the crack rate, and once a water guide crack is formed, the influence on the tightness of the gasification furnace and the permeability of surrounding rocks is great; on the other hand, the temperature loss in the gasification cavity is serious, the energy consumption is increased, the gasification effect is weakened, and the reduction of the temperature loss is also an important link of low-carbon green environment-friendly exploitation. The method is proposed, which comprises the following steps:
Step 1: determining fracturing pressure, firstly sampling a gasified coal bed, and determining the stratum pressure of the coal mine. And carrying out a carbon dioxide fracturing experiment on the coal bed to enable the coal bed to generate a large number of cracks and have fewer through cracks, wherein the fracturing pressure is obtained through a laboratory experiment. Under laboratory conditions, respectively carrying out fracturing experiments under different pressures, applying original confining pressure, and obtaining the crack expansion condition through CT scanning and pore-penetration measuring means. Based on that cracks are generated more and the permeability is not obviously improved, the optimal fracturing pressure is selected.
Step 2: and (3) drilling a well by construction, drilling an upper layer of horizontal well and a lower layer of horizontal well in the deep coal exploitation direction, arranging two pipelines on each layer around the gasification cavity, and constructing an injection well. The horizontal well-gasifier distance is greater than one half the distance between horizontal wells. According to the step 1, the furthest distance of crack propagation under preset fracturing pressure is determined, namely the distance between the upper horizontal well pipes, so that the coal seam in the middle position of the upper horizontal well is ensured to be effectively fractured. The design method of the lower horizontal pipe is the same as that of the upper horizontal well pipe. The effective fracturing means that the porosity of the coal seam is obviously changed through fracturing, and the crack expansion condition ensures that the heat preservation gas can fill the coal seam in a large area.
And (3) data monitoring, wherein temperature sensors and pressure sensors are uniformly arranged around the walls of the upper layer horizontal well pipe and the lower layer horizontal well pipe. The detection equipment comprises a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor, wherein the temperature sensor detects the temperature of a coal bed in real time, collects temperature change information, and injects supercritical carbon dioxide to perform further cooling treatment so as to enable the temperature change to be in a controllable range when the temperature is increased by gasification reaction, so that the influence of the temperature on a overlying strata structure is reduced. The pressure sensor is positioned at the fracturing gas outlet of the horizontal well, monitors the gas pressure, judges the relation between the injection pressure and the stratum pressure and the gasifier pressure, and ensures that the injection pressure is higher than the stratum pressure and lower than the gasifier pressure.
Step 3: fracturing the coal seam at an optimal fracturing pressure.
Step 4: the heat preservation and heat insulation are realized, the carbon dioxide which is the heat preservation gas is filled, the injection pressure is larger than the reservoir pressure and smaller than the pressure in the gasification furnace, and the heat preservation gas is ensured not to enter the gasification furnace when filling the coal bed. Carbon dioxide gas is continuously injected in the gasification process. In the coal seam fracture, carbon dioxide can diffuse to pore channels or be adsorbed on pore walls in original fracture and fracturing fracture, and a supercritical state of the carbon dioxide can exist in partial areas due to different pore pressures and temperatures.
Step 5: and (3) energy is utilized, and after the coal bed is filled with carbon dioxide for a period of time, a small amount of carbon dioxide can be adsorbed on the hole wall, so that the carbon dioxide is stored. After the exploitation operation is finished, the fracturing well pipe can be pulled out and put into use again, so that low-carbon and environment-friendly recycling is realized.

The design method of the lower horizontal pipe is the same as that of the upper horizontal well pipe. The horizontal well-gasifier distance is greater than one half the distance between horizontal wells. And then determining the track of the ground injection well and the horizontal well, drilling the horizontal well in a designated position by using a ground drilling machine, arranging two pipelines on each layer around the gasification cavity, and constructing the injection well. The injection well is connected to a horizontal well as shown in fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 3, temperature sensors and pressure sensors are uniformly arranged around the walls of the upper horizontal well pipe and the lower horizontal well pipe in a drilling mode. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the coal bed in real time, collects temperature change information, and when the temperature is increased by gasification, in order to reduce the influence of the temperature on the overlying strata structure, the supercritical carbon dioxide is injected for further cooling treatment, so that the temperature change is in a controllable range.
