Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the m-situ demand of gas from coal beds, the structure of the gas-containing coal being broken down by means of gases and / or liquids introduced into the coal bed by means of pressurized gases and / or liquids and then for the flow paths in the coal Gas demand a pressure smaller than the respective desorption pressure is applied to the bore.
- the possibility of extracting methane from m coal seams from mined coal mines by means of an m-situ demand from m the borehole in question is determined by the parameters gas content, permeability and Porosity of the coal as well as the desorption pressure of methane, which depends on the gas content of the coal.
- stimulation techniques have been used within the framework of previously known methods which are known per se from oil production, in that the borehole drilled into the coal seam used for the production of gas is brief, that is to say over a period of less than one hour to a few hours, by means of injection of water or a suitable gas under a uniformly high pressure, for example from 300 to 350 bar.
- This pressurization leads to the formation of a so-called fracture, by means of which the macrostructure of the coal is broken up at its natural mechanical weak points such as bad, fissures, etc.
- the pressurization takes place with the simultaneous introduction of a suitable material, such as, for example, a rolling sand, by means of which the open macrostructure is kept open and at the same time a gas flow path is established along the broken mechanical weak points.
- a suitable material such as, for example, a rolling sand
- the known stimulation method has the disadvantage that it is only possible to achieve satisfactory gas production rates in coal seams with a low permeability if the coal is highly saturated with methane and the desorption pressure is consequently relatively close to the application pressure. Is a low permeable coal on the other hand, if the frac introduced in each case results in only a small depth of penetration of the pressure funnel which arises when the pressure is reduced for the gas demand.
- the supply pressure to be set below the desorption pressure at the borehole therefore only acts on a comparatively small coal volume, namely that which is directly perpendicular to the respective fracture.
- the known stimulation technique thus only influences comparatively small floz sections; there is no volumetric flux influence, at least for a short time, and the rate of migration of the pressure drop in the seam during operation is too low.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method of the type mentioned at the outset by means of which the gas demand rate can be increased.
- the solution to this problem arises, including advantageous refinements and developments of the invention, from the content of the claims, which follow this description.
- the basic idea of the invention is that for the exploration of the coal, a pressure is applied to the borehole which is effective over a longer period of time and which is less than the smallest main stress determined in the respective seam horizon used for gas production, the loading of the borehole during of the digestion period with a cyclically changing pressure.
- the invention is associated with the advantage that the application of pressure to the coal seam to be used for gas production that is less than the smallest main stress determined in the corresponding seam opens the complex crack system in the pore area from macropores to microporous structures, without opening or opening new cracks in the area of the macro structure.
- the microcracks do not return to their dense starting position, since the prolonged pressurization with a pressure in the region of the main stress means that there is little dislocation of the microcrack surfaces and, because of the associated detachment of fine particles, a permanent gap of the respective crack surface is generated, so that the use of proppants such as sands etc. can advantageously be dispensed with.
- the opening of the crack system in the pore area is further supported by the fact that the application according to the invention the borehole takes place during the digestion period with a cyclically changing pressure, so that this leads to a kind of breathing in the pore area of the coal to be digested, which is why once opened pore structures cannot close again.
- This also supports the displacement of the microcrack surfaces against each other and the transport of detached fine particles within the opened microporous structures.
- the permeability of the coal is increased permanently and over a larger surface area without a larger coal volume having to be pumped to a pressure level below the desorption pressure during the subsequent conveying operation, so that this larger coal volume with the permeability increased by the measure according to the invention gas production is available.
- the lowest main stress prevailing in the coal seam to be used for gas production is measured in order to determine the pressure to be set in the individual case, and the application pressure is set lower than the main stress determined; the pressure is applied over a longer period of time, which can be specified as one day to several days or weeks.
- This long-lasting pressurization with the pressure designed for the given main stress leads to the desired disintegration of the pore structure of the coal without changes in the mechanical structure of the coal seam.
- the pressure can be applied to the borehole by injecting water or gas.
- water used to pressurize the borehole
- reservoir water present in the deposit can also be pressed into the borehole or the pore structure breathing can be generated by cyclically applied pressure via the pressure excitation of the reservoir water.
- the gas flowing to the borehole and to be conveyed can be pressed back into the borehole for pressurizing it; alternatively the injection of C0 2 is provided may be what the advantageous effect is that of reducing to be conveyed methane (CH 4) to the coal on admission of C0 2 binding, so that the relied on for pressurizing C0 2 gas also acts as a subsidy.
- CH 4 methane
