Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the differences between the coal seam and other strata, the fracturing operation will be different from the general construction. The main manifestations are as follows: (1) The micro-cracks and cleats in the coal seam are well developed, the fracturing fluid has serious filtration loss, and sand plugging is easy to occur, so the construction High difficulty
(2) The fractures produced by coal seam well fracturing are more complex than expected, and there may be combined fractures composed of horizontal fractures and vertical fractures, that is, T-shaped fractures, which bring difficulties to construction
(3) The fracturing fluid has serious damage to the reservoir
[0007] In summary, the existing coal seam fracturing technology will inevitably cause damage to the reservoir during the implementation process, which will affect the effect of the stimulation. Further research and improvement of related technologies are necessary to overcome the problems exposed during fracturing construction.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for mining coalbed methane through coalbed burning assisted fracture forming. The method comprises steps as follows: (1) nitrogen gas and / or carbon dioxide gas are / is injected into a coalbed methane well, near-wellbore area coalbed methane is pushed to a deep position of a stratum by 3-5 m; (2) ignition is performed: air is injected for ignition at the temperature being 500 DEG C or above, and a near-wellbore area coalbed is ignited; (3) air injection is stopped, and the well is closed for 4-5 days; (4) the nitrogen gas or the carbon dioxide gas is injected to dilute involved oxygen in a near-wellbore area, and the mined gas explosion risk is avoided; (5) the coalbed methane is mined normally. The method is suitable for coalbed methane transformation, the cave completion effect in the near-wellbore area can be realized, fissures can be formed with the method instead of through fracturing, and a new thought is provided for effectively improving seepage capability of the coalbed methane.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coalbed methane development, and in particular relates to a method for exploiting coalbed methane by using fire-burning coal seams to assist fracture-making. Background technique [0002] Coalbed methane is a hydrocarbon gas stored in coal seams with methane as the main component, mainly adsorbed on the surface of coal matrix particles, partially free in coal pores or dissolved in coal seam water, commonly known as "gas", with methane (CH 4 ), followed by carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), etc., the calorific value is 2 to 5 times that of general coal, and the calorific value of 1 cubic meter of pure coalbed methane is equivalent to 1.13kg of gasoline and 1.21kg of standard coal, and its calorific value is equivalent to that of natural gas. It is very clean afterward, hardly producing any exhaust gas. In addition to being used as industrial, chemical, power generation and residential fuel energy,...
