The 3
# coal in Zhaozhuang well field in Qinshui Basin has high abundance of CBM resources.The output speed of coalbed methane desorption,diffusion and migration is slow,the exploitation of coalbed methane in this coal seam faces issues such as unstable and low production and fast decline of gas production etc.,and the exploitation of coalbed methane in this coal seam is more difficult.Therefore,according to the characteristics of the coalbed methane production,the factors influencing coalbed methane production were studied by combining experiment and field test analysis.Three affecting factors of coalbed methane production difficulties are discussed:(1)3
# coal is characterized by very good development of fractures,poor fracture connectivity and filling jams.The macropore proportion of 3
# coal is small and the micropore proportion is large.The seepage condition of coal seam is poor,and it has low movable fluid saturation.The drainage decompression can produce less pore fluid,and the coalbed methane output level is low.(2)The ratio between the critical desorption pressure and reservoir pressure and the gas saturation of coal seam islow,the drainage pressure drop of coalbed gas wells is small,and the expansion area of pressure drop funnel is small,resulting in poor gas production effect.(3)Coal seam has the features of strong plasticity,low stress difference between coal seam and surrounding rock,greater extension difficulty of the fracturing fracture,easy breaking through the roof and floor for longitudinal extension,easy formation of more cracks under fracturing,limited expansion of the crack length,and poor fracturing production.It is also suggested that optimizing favorable areas for CBM development,strengthening measures for coal seam fracturing and extraction technology for sublevel fracturing horizontal wells are three favorable measures for realizing efficient CBM development in 3# coal seam in Zhaozhuang field.
