摘要:

深部煤层注入CO2强化煤层气抽采兼具环保效益与经济效益,有广阔的发展前景。为探讨不同类型煤体在CO2注入后的煤体结构变化情况,选用最大镜质体反射率(Ro,max)不同的5个样品,开展模拟煤层埋深为1 500 m温压条件下的超临界CO2注入实验,利用低温N2吸附法和压汞法测试注入前后煤样的孔隙结构变化特征,并采用分形理论定量比较其变化程度。N2吸附实验结果显示:经过超临界CO2-H2O作用前后煤样孔容均随煤阶增加先减小后增大,在焦煤处形成拐点,孔容在微孔阶段(孔隙直径介于0~2 nm)增幅最大。压汞实验的孔容变化情况较为复杂,在过渡孔(孔隙直径介于>2~50 nm)和裂隙(孔隙直径大于1 000 nm)阶段增幅明显,这是由于超临界CO2-H2O反应增加了煤中的非有效连通孔隙,提升了煤样的局部连通性;部分样品反应后总孔容甚至有减小趋势,可能与脱落的矿物质堵塞孔隙有关。对反应前后样品的孔隙参数分形分析结果显示:不同样品的孔隙结构变化取决于煤体特征参数,低煤阶、高煤阶煤反应后孔容变化幅度更大,且矿物质含量越高变化程度更大。该研究有助于深入理解深部煤层CO2注入对煤层孔隙结构的改造作用,可为CO2地质封存与煤层气强化开发(CO2-ECBM)工程选址提供参考。

Abstract:

Injecting CO2 into deep coal seams to enhance coalbed methane (CBM) extraction has both environmental and economic benefits, indicating broad development prospects. To investigate the structural changes of different types of coal after CO2 injection, five samples with different maximum vitrinite reflectance (Ro, max) were selected to conduct supercritical CO2 injection experiments under conditions simulating a coal seam burial depth of 1 500 m. The pore and fracture structures of the coal samples before and after injection were characterized using low-temperature N2 adsorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry. The extent of changes was quantitatively compared using fractal theory. The results of N2 adsorption experiments showed that the pore volume of the coal samples before and after supercritical CO2-H2O reaction initially decreased and then increased with increasing coal rank. An inflection point was formed at coking coal, with the most significant increase in pore volume observed within the micropore range (pore diameter 0~2 nm). The changes in pore volume observed in mercury intrusion porosimetry experiments were relatively complex, with significant increases in the transition pore range (pore diameter>2~50 nm) and fracture range (pore diameter>1 000 nm). This was because the supercritical CO2-H2O reaction increased the proportion of non-effective connected pores in the coal, enhancing the local connectivity of the coal samples. Furthermore, the total pore volume of some samples even showed a decreasing trend after reaction, likely due to the blockage of pores and fractures by detached minerals. The fractal analysis results of pore parameters before and after reaction showed that the changes in pore and fracture structure depended on the characteristic coal parameters. The changes in pore volume were more pronounced in low-rank and high-rank coals after the reaction, and the extent of change was more significant in samples with higher mineral content. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how CO2 injection changes the pore structure of deep coal seams and can provide a reference for site selection in CO2 geological storage and enhanced coalbed methane development (CO2-ECBM) projects.

Key words: supercritical CO2, CO2-ECBM, coal rank, pore variation, fractal
