This paper studies the seepage of coal samples under the influence of each single factor, the axial stress, confining pressure, gas pressure, and temperature by experiments. It uses Ansys12.0 to numerically simulate the law of coalbed methane seepage, coal deformation, pore pressure, the distribution of flow field under the influence of each single field and multi-field coupled. The numerical simulation show that the result of numerical simulation of gas seepage law in the coal under each single fields is basically the same as the experimental result. The curve of gas seepage and average effective stress under the condition of multi-field coupled is negative exponential relationship. Stress influenced the deformation of the specimen is greater than the seepage field. The axial stress on the deformation of the specimen is greater than confining presses The influence on the flow field by confining pressure is greater than axial stress, the influence of axial stress on the pore pressure is greater than confining pressure, pore-pressure under the action of multi-field is bigger than pro-pressure under each single field. To study the seepage law of coalbed methane, it should consider the influence of gas-solid-heat at the same time.     

Numerical simulation of seepage field of gas extraction drilling of single bedding of mining-coal bed

Aiming at the problem of reasonable decorate of coal gas extraction drilling, combining with the initial and boundary condition of borehole extraction, the solid and gas coupling mathematical model of gas seepage of borehole extraction is deduced based on established control equations of seepage field and deformation field. Taking gas extraction of stone coal slit as an example, according to the characteristics of coal seam in the research, the numerical simulation method is used to obtain the distribution rule of gas pressure, coalbed gas permeability, and coalbed gas seepage velocity as well as seam deformation. The effective radius of gas extraction drilling of single bedding about mining-coal bed is determined, which provides the basis for optimum arrangement of gas extraction drilling of single bedding. The results show that the effective radius of stone coal is about 4 m. If the prolonging drilling drainage time is less than 20%, the drilling quantities would reduce by about 50%.

Experimental study on permeability rules of coal considering sorption and long-term stress

The paper studies the permeability rules of coal during methane sorption and long-term triaxial load by self-manufactured triaxial permeation apparatus. The experimental coal samples are excavated from Fuxin Stratum Coal seam of HengDa Coal Industry Co., Ltd in Fuxin city. The experiment results show that: the value of coal permeability considering methane adsorption is lower than that without methane adsorption, reducing by 48.94%~82.18%; slippage effect exists in coal after sorpting methane. Coal permeability has significant reduce by 82.05%~92.65% under 18 MPa total stress after 78 day, coal permeability variations with time can be described by negative exponential function.

Experimental analysis of matrix shrinkage’s influence on mechanical permeability of gas filled coal

Based on the coal seam of Zhao zhuang coal mine and Si he coal mine belong to Jin cheng anthracite Mining Group in Shanxi province, by using the self developed three axial servo controlled seepage equipment for hot fluid solid coupling of coal containing methane, parallel experiments for permeability of helium and methane under different gas pressures are carried out to quantitatively study the influence of Klinkenberg effects on the permeability of coal. Meanwhile, the problem of permeability decreasing caused by fluid pressure decreasing and gas desorption is eliminated by controlling the effective stress. The results show thatthe Klinkenberg effect is obvious under low gas pressure. With the increase of gas pressure, the permeability of coal decreases at first and then increases. The inflection points of gas pressure for Klinkenberg effect are about 0.9 MPa both for coal samples in Zhao zhuang coal mine and Si he coal mine. When the effective stress is constant, with the increase of gas pressure, the permeability increment caused by Klinkenberg effect decreases, while permeability increment caused by coal matrix shrinkage increases. Coal matrix shrinkage has a close relationship with the mechanical properties of coal rock mass. For the coal sample with a poor mechanical property, coal matrix shrinkage is more obvious.     

Analysis and numerical simulation of fluid-structure coupling of gas drainage from boreholes

Gas drainage from boreholes is main method of utilization and management of Chinese coal seam gas. As the exploitation depth increases, stress field and other factors on the impact of gas seepage are increasingly apparent. Based on the basis of a series of assumptions of coal seam gas, porosity and permeability equations are described by considering stress, coal seam gas pressure change on the coal produced by deformation of the skeleton. The fluid-structure coupling equations are derived by using the basic theorem of porous media flow and the fluid structure coupling theory. The gas seepage field is simulated and analyzed by using multi-physics coupling analysis software. The effect of gas pressure distribution, different burial depths and different drilling parameters (drainage negative pressure, drilling radius) on gas seepage field is obtained. Analysis of simulation results can provide theoretical guidance for on-site gas drainage.

Mechanism analysis of permeability based on promoting coal matrix shrinkage by water jet

High pressure pulsed water jet (HPWJ) is a new technology of effectively improving coal seam permeability. However, the mechanism of increased permeability is not yet clear, which restricts the application of HPWJ in different coal seams.

Besides, the gas seepage function in the coal slotted by the HPWJ is gained by using PM model, which provides theoretical support for generalizing the technology in the coal mine.

Three kinds of coal samples with different components are chosen as study objects.Density calculation and SEM are adopted to study their internal structures,and a self made triaxial gas seepage instrument is used to study their internal gas flow characteristics.The results show that internal structures of coal samples made of different particle size coal powders under identical external conditions are various,and nonlinearity is presented on the influence caused by fabric.Gas flow characteristic is complex in complete stress strain process,generally it firstly increases and then decreases,initial gas flow velocity is lower than the one after the failure of coal sample,and obvious hysteretic nature of gas flow characteristic is showed.The influence of gas flow characteristic caused by initial internal structure of coal sample is nonlinear and the stress sensitivity is high on the influence of gas flow characteristic caused by initial internal structure.The more complex the initial internal structure of the coal sample is,the lower the axial tress sensitivity is,and the higher the confining pressure sensitivity is.     

A calculation method for coalbed permeability by using drainage data

In order to more accurately calculate the changes in the permeability of coalbed during production process, a calculation method for coalbed permeability based on production data is established by combining with material balance equations and production equations, and it gives the fact that the output data can be a good reflection of the inner permeability of coalbed. The average pressure of coalbed in production process can be calculated through material balance equation. Dimensionless water production index is introduced into the production equation in the stage only with water production. In the next stage with both gas and water, gas and water production ratio is introduced to eliminate the influence of flush-flow radius, skin factor as well as other uncertain factors on the calculation of CBM permeability. The relationship between permeability and surface cumulative liquid production can be described as a single-variable cubic equation by derivation. There is a trend that the permeability declines firstly and then increases after wells in Qinshui CBM field are calculated. The results show that reservoir permeability increase after drainage stage, but the growth rate decrease gradually. The regression result of the permeability ratio and surface cumulative fluid production agrees with the theoretical mathematic relationship.
