Multi-well extraction is a prevalent technique in coalbed methane (CBM) recovery projects. Although numerous studies have extensively explored aspects such as well spacing, the degree of multi-well pumping, and well count, the dynamics of fracture microstructure evolution in proximity to wells—particularly in inter-well regions—remain inadequately understood in relation to the effects of multi-well mining project. This research delved into the multi-well extraction methodology employed in CBM recovery endeavors, aiming to elucidate the development of the fracture microstructure network. We introduce a novel, interdisciplinary, and integrative research framework that amalgamates the multi-field coupling effects observed during the multi-well extraction process with fractal theory. This model has been validated, and it facilitates the examination of changes in fracture micro-evolution subjected to multi-well extraction. Additionally, this study investigated alterations in fracture characteristics, seam stress, and CBM pressure within sensitive zones (i.e., inter-well spaces and adjacent areas) under varying extraction pressures. Following a 180-day extraction period, the findings indicate a significant reduction in gas pressure by 83.9% for the extraction wells and the nearby areas, alongside a decrease in fracture network length by 10.94% and density by 5.04%. Compared to existing models for assessing multi-well CBM extraction, our interdisciplinary model demonstrates considerable analytical superiority. Notably, when the fractal parameters Df and DTf, which characterize fracture density and tortuosity quantitatively, increase from 1.2 to 1.8, the residual gas pressure is reduced further by 11.6% and increased further by 3.9%, respectively.

多井采矿项目中煤层气开采的微观-宏观行为

多井开采是煤层气(CBM)回收项目中的普遍技术。尽管大量研究广泛探讨了井间距、多井泵送程度和井数等方面,但对井附近裂缝微观结构演化的动态(特别是井间区域)仍然没有充分了解其影响多井采矿项目。这项研究深入研究了煤层气采收工作中采用的多井开采方法,旨在阐明裂缝微观结构网络的发展。我们引入了一种新颖的跨学科综合研究框架,该框架将多井开采过程中观察到的多场耦合效应与分形理论相结合。该模型已经过验证,有助于检查多井开采时裂缝微演化的变化。此外,本研究还研究了不同抽采压力下敏感区域(即井间空间和邻近区域)内裂缝特征、煤层应力和煤层气压力的变化。经过 180 天的开采期后,研究结果表明,开采井和附近地区的气体压力显着降低了 83.9%,同时裂缝网络长度减少了 10.94%,密度减少了 5.04%。与评估多井煤层气开采的现有模型相比,我们的跨学科模型表现出相当大的分析优势。值得注意的是,当定量表征裂缝密度和曲折度的分形参数D fD Tf从1.2增加到1.8时,残余气体压力分别进一步降低11.6%和增加3.9%。
