Deep coalbed methane (CBM) is widely distributed in China and is mainly commercially exploited in the Qinshui basin. The in situ stress and moisture content are key factors affecting the permeability of CH4-containing coal samples. Therefore, considering the coupled effects of compressing and infiltrating on the gas permeability of coal could be more accurate to reveal the CH4 gas seepage characteristics in CBM reservoirs. In this study, coal samples sourced from Tunlan coalmine were employed to conduct the triaxial loading and gas seepage tests. Several findings were concluded: (1) In this triaxial test, the effect of confining stress on the permeability of gas-containing coal samples is greater than that of axial stress. (2) The permeability versus gas pressure curve of coal presents a ‘V’ shape evolution trend, in which the minimum gas permeability was obtained at a gas pressure of 1.1MPa. (3) The gas permeability of coal samples decreased exponentially with increasing moisture content. Specifically, as the moisture content increasing from 0.18% to 3.15%, the gas permeability decreased by about 70%. These results are expected to provide a foundation for the efficient exploitation of CBM in Qinshui basin.

Abstract Taking the tight sandstone core of Shengli Oilfield as the experimental sample, this paper studies the permeability variation of the tight sandstone under different confining pressures. The experimental results show that when the pore pressure is constant, the measured gas permeability of core decreases with the increase of confining pressure. Power function is more reasonable to describe the influence of confining pressure on permeability of tight sandstone between power function and exponential function. Analyze the impact of confining pressure on gas permeability of tight sandstone cores by using permeability change rate coefficient D and coefficient S.
