According to the problems that the coalbed methane resource was rich in deep seam in China, but the economic and technology conditions were limited, it would be hard to mine with a conventional method. The CO2 capture, utilization and storage technology was provided (CO2-ECBM). The application of the technology would not only improve the methane recovery ratio from deep and unminable layer, but also put CO2 effectively in the deep layer for storage to reach a target of reducing emission. The study showed that a coal rank, coal seam pressure, coal seam permeability, injection time, injected gas types and others would affect to the recovery ratio of methane in a production mine. Therefore, before we use this technology, a rational evaluation should be conducted on the place location. So the capture and storage technology of CO2 has an important significance in protecting the natural environment.

Fluid flow simulation on enhanched coalbed methane systemThe Enhanced Coalbed Methane (ECBM) process can be applied as a carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology for the mitigation of greenhouse gases emissions, by transferring CO2 emitted by stationary sources into ECBM field reservoirs. This CCS-ECBM integration is a novel technology that is aimed at reducing CO2 emission while simultaneously improving the energy supply security in Indonesia. This research studies the fluid flow in fractures/cleats in CBM reservoirs, which is a laminar flow under pressure gradient in accordance to Darcy's law. The objective of this research is to understand the mechanism of the integration between CCS and ECBM process via computer simulations. Gas components considered in the simulation include CH4 and CO2. Fluid flow variables in this research are permeability (k), porosity (ϕ), and gas saturation (S). Simulations are done using the FlexPDE version 5 software package. Simulation results indicate that all three variables influence the fluid flow mechanism in fractures/cleats during the injection of CO2 in ECBM process. Simulations which are run for 100 days predict that methane recovery is inversely proportional to porosity, with a recovery of 97.88% at a porosity of 0.017, and 37.16% at a porosity of 0.63.Keywords: greenhouse gases, CCS, ECBM, fractures, cleats Abstrak Proses Enhanced Coalbed Methane (ECBM) dapat diterapkan sebagai salah satu teknologi penangkapan dan penyimpanan karbon (Carbon Capture and Storage atau CCS) untuk mitigasi emisi gas rumah kaca, dengan cara menyalurkan CO2 dari sumber emisi stasioner ke dalam reservoir lapangan ECBM.

Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme aliran dalam retakan dengan injeksi CO2 pada proses ECBM dipengaruhi oleh ketiga variabel yang ditinjau. Simulasi yang dijalankan selama 100 hari menunjukkan bahwa perolehan metana berbanding terbalik secara linier terhadap porositas, dengan perolehan sebesar 97,88% pada porositas 0,017 dan 37,16% pada porositas 0,63.Kata kunci: gas rumah kaca, CCS, ECBM, retakan, cleats

The reservoir permeability dominates the transport of gas and water in coal seam. However, coal seams rich in gas usually contain various pores and fractures blocked by a large amount of minerals, which leads to an ultra-low permeability and gas extraction rate, and thus an increase of drilling workload. We first propose a thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical coupled model (THMC) for the acid fracturing enhanced coalbed methane recovery (AF-ECBM). Then, this model is applied to simulate the variation of key parameters during AF-ECBM using a 2D geometry. The effect of different extraction schedules are comparatively analyzed to give an insight into these complex coupling responses in coal seam. Result confirms that the AF-ECBM is an effective way to increase the reservoir permeability and improve the gas production using the proposed model. The range of permeability increment zone increases most dramatically in the way of acid fracturing, followed by none-acid fracturing and acidizing over time. The gas production in order is: acid fracturing (AF-ECBM) > fracturing (F-ECBM) > acidification (A-ECBM)> direct extraction (D-CBM).

Coal macrolithotypes control the reservoir heterogeneity, which plays a significant role in the exploration and development of coalbed methane. Traditional methods for coal macrolithotype evaluation often rely on core observation, but these techniques are non-economical and insufficient. The geophysical logging data are easily available for coalbed methane exploration; thus, it is necessary to find a relationship between core observation results and wireline logging data, and then to provide a new method to quantify coal macrolithotypes of a whole coal seam. In this study, we propose a L-Index model by combing the multiple geophysical logging data with principal component analysis, and we use the L-Index model to quantitatively evaluate the vertical and regional distributions of the macrolithotypes of No. 3 coal seam in Zhengzhuang field, southern Qinshui basin. Moreover, we also proposed a S-Index model to quantitatively evaluate the general brightness of a whole coal seam: the increase of the S-Index from 1 to 3.7, indicates decreasing brightness, i.e., from bright coal to dull coal. Finally, we discussed the relationship between S-Index and the hydro-fracturing effect. It was found that the coal seam with low S-Index values can easily form long extending fractures during hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, the lower S-Index values indicate much more favorable gas production potential in the Zhengzhuang field. This study provides a new methodology to evaluate coal macrolithotypes by using geophysical logging data.
