Abstract

Liulin area is one of the key coalbed methane (CBM) development areas in China.Based on the regional geology analysis,the CBM composition,in-situ stress and geo-temperature field,and reservoir differences were illustrated.Additionally,the CBM well development effect,pumped layers choice,and well drilling technologies were systematically discussed.Results show that,the CH4 content,Langmuir volume and gas saturation of Shanxi Formation are higher than those of the Taiyuan Formation.In-situ stress and geo-temperature field show vertical belting,and the 700m to 850m depth are the minimum horizontal principal stress.The coal properties are different from each other,and the hydrodynamic condition contributes much to the reservoiring difference.Vertical wells which penetrate coals in Shanxi Formation show better gas rate,while in Taiyuan Formation they are of higher water rate.Double-step and multi-branch horizontal wells were adopted,resulting in the full use of coals and better gas rate.Two cycles are proposed,including the inner cycle composed of in-situ stress,geo-temperature and reservoir pressure,and the outer cycle of permeability,gas rate and water rate.During CBM production,the inner cycle stimulates the outer cycle,while the reservoir reconstruction promotes the capability release and well production system maintains production balance.
