New Material

In order to ensure the intactness of pressure-measuring boreholes and the accuracy of gas pressure determination, pregrouting treatment with polymer materials is frequently applied to bedding drilling in coal mines. However, the existing polyurethane materials are of high viscosity, low permeability, and poor safety, bringing great difficulties to their field promotion and application. In view of this problem, after optimization and experiments, polylactide polyol/polyether polyol 4110/isocyanate was determined as the target system. Bio-based benzoxazine (Boz-F), red phosphorus, and melamine with a mass ratio of 2 : 1 : 2 were used as the flame retardant, which then underwent mechanical modification by hollow glass bubbles. Finally, the pregrouting material with low viscosity and high permeability was compounded, and its interaction with coal was experimentally studied. The results show that compared with traditional polyurethane, the new material increases the effective consolidation distance in the coal seam by 40% on average. Its permeation radius is also larger than the calculated radius of the plastic softening zone of a borehole. In addition, the strengths of coal-new material consolidated products with different ratios fully surpass those of coal-polyurethane material consolidated products. The enhancement of compressive strength and bending strength is up to 153% and 161%, respectively. The field application indicates that after pregrouting treatment of boreholes in the coal seam with the new material, the borehole formation rate reaches 100%. Therefore, the new material is safe and practical for gas pressure measurement through bedding drilling on site.

AbstractAvailability of gases at the field level makes attractive to water-alternating-gas (WAG) process for low viscosity and light oils carbonate reservoir. However, impact of reservoir heterogeneity on WAG performance is crucial before field application. In general, ramp carbonates have heterogeneity due to variation of permeability and porosity. However, WAG performance significantly affected by permeability variations. This article investigates merits and demerits of WAG displacement due to permeability heterogeneities such as permeability anisotropy, high permeability streaks (HKS), matrix permeability, dolomite and thin dense stylolite layers. High-resolution compositional simulations with tuned equation of state (EoS) were carried out using 2D and 3D sector models. The study focuses on WAG performance in terms of oil recovery, vertical sweep, solvent utilization, gas oil ratio (GOR), water cut (WCT), WAG response time, gravity override, hysteresis, un-contacted oil saturation and economics. The results of simulation show that the heterogeneous reservoir provides initially faster WAG response, lower expected ultimate recovery (EUR), faster gas breakthrough, higher GOR and WCT production compared to homogeneous reservoir. The gas gravity override at smaller wells spacing is less in homogeneous reservoir as compared to heterogeneous reservoir, but it is reverse in case of larger well spacing. In heterogeneous reservoir, the HKS shows significant gas override resulting in poor vertical sweep due to capillary holding, and the high permeability dolomite layer shows early water breakthrough. This reservoir has higher solvent utilization in initial stage, and then, it becomes nearly equal to homogeneous reservoir. Simulation in both reservoirs overestimates incremental recovery of 2–3% OOIP at one pore volume injection because of not involving un-contacted oil saturation as predicted in core flood. The findings of this study will help to understand WAG performance and design in highly heterogeneous reservoirs for field applications. Graphical abstract

Soft Coal Seam

High-pressure abrasive water jet flushing (HPAWJF) is an effective method used to improve coal seam permeability. In this study, based on the theories of gas flow and coal deformation, a coupled gas-rock model is established to investigate realistic failure processes by introducing equations for the evolution of mesoscopic element damage along with coal mass deformation. Numerical simulation of the failure and pressure relief processes is carried out under different coal seam permeability and flushing length conditions. Distributions of the seepage and gas pressure fields of the realistic failure process are analyzed. The effects of flushing permeability enhancement in a soft coal seam on the gas drainage from boreholes are revealed by conducting a field experiment. Conclusions can be extracted that the gas pressure of the slotted soft coal seam is reduced and that the gas drainage volume is three times higher than that of a conventional borehole. Field tests demonstrate that the gas drainage effect of the soft coal seam is significantly improved and that tunneling speed is nearly doubled. The results obtained from this study can provide guidance to gas drainage in soft coal seams regarding the theory and practice application of the HPAWJF method.

Fracture Network Modeling

Coal contains a large number of fractures, whose characteristics are difficult to describe in detail, while their spatial distribution patterns may follow some macroscopic statistical laws. In this paper, several fracture geometric parameters (FGPs) were used to describe a fracture, and the coal seam was represented by a two-dimensional stochastic fracture network (SFN) which was generated and processed through a series of methods in MATLAB. Then, the processed SFN image was able to be imported into COMSOL Multiphysics and converted to a computational domain through the image function. In this way, the influences of different FGPs and their distribution patterns on the permeability of the coal seam were studied, and a finite element model to investigate gas flow properties in the coal seam was carried out. The results show that the permeability of the coal seam increased with the rising of fracture density, length, aperture, and with the decrease of the angle between the fracture orientation and the gas pressure gradient. It has also been found that large-sized fractures have a more significant contribution to coal reservoir permeability. Additionally, a numerical simulation of CBM extraction was carried out to show the potential of the proposed approach in the application of tackling practical engineering problems. According to the results, not only the connectivity of fractures but also variations of gas pressure and velocity can be displayed explicitly, which is consistent well with the actual situation.

Spodumene, which is a lithium alumina silicate, has been used as a raw material in the production of thermal shock resistant whitewares and sanitarywares. The presence of spodumene results in enhancement of mullitization and imparts better physical and mechanical properties to ceramics. In this study, the influence of Lithium alumina silicate phases on the mechanical properties of standard porcelain stoneware body was investigated. Especially solid-solid reactions were observed between spodumene and quartz or spodumene and clay. These solid-solid reactions bring about a newly formed lithium alumina silicate (LAS) phases. Spodumene allows the development of a low viscosity liquid phase and results in a decrease in closed porosity, also with increase in bulk density, bending strength and elastic modulus.

Simulation Results

To study the influence of different factors on the cracking effect of the liquid CO2 phase transition, the mechanics of coal rock crack extension based on liquid CO2 phase change blast loading were studied. Through the application of simulation software to analyze the influence of coal seam physical parameters (in situ stress, gas pressure, modulus of elasticity and strength of coal) and blasting parameters (fracturing pore size and peak pressure of detonation)on the effect of liquid CO2 phase change cracking, the simulation results showed that the cracking effect of liquid CO2 phase change was positively correlated with the changes in gas pressure, elastic modulus, fracture hole diameter and peak vent pressure, negatively correlated with the variation in situ stress and compressive strength, and nearly independent of the tensile strength. In addition, by using Gray correlation analysis to analyze the influence degree of six main factors on the cracking effect, the calculation results showed that the effect of blasting parameters was greater than that of physical parameters. The main controlling factor that affected the blasting effect was the peak pressure of blasting release. By conducting comparative engineering trials with different blasting parameters, the test results showed that the crack effect of the coal seam was positively correlated with the change in fracture hole diameter and peak venting pressure, which was consistent with the results obtained from the simulation. The experimental results and simulation results for the effective radius of coal seam fracturing were basically consistent, with the error between the two types of results falling below 10%. Therefore, the reliability of the blasting numerical model was verified. In summary, the research results provide theoretical guidance for applying and promoting liquid CO2 fracturing technology in coal mines.
