In order to meet the requirements of geosteering drilling with LWD azimuth gamma, the response value of gamma ray intensity under different surrounding rock thicknesses and absorption coefficients was studied by numerical simulation. Meanwhile, the variation of special and physical characteristics reflected by API value measured by gamma detector under the radioactive formation conditions was simulated and analyzed. On this basis, the geological model of the three layers of coal, mudstone and limestone of 8-sectors azimuth gamma ray drilling was established to simulate the identification process of roof and floor of coal bed drilled. The simulation results show that the …


Time-To-Depth Conversion Accuracy Analysis And Improvement Method For Inclined Coal Bed, WANG Huifeng, FU Chao, LI Guo, CHEN Tongjun 2022 School of Nuclear Science and Technology, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China

Time-To-Depth Conversion Accuracy Analysis And Improvement Method For Inclined Coal Bed, Wang Huifeng, Fu Chao, Li Guo, Chen Tongjun

Coal Geology & Exploration

The average-velocity method is the most commonly-used time-to-depth conversion technology for the seismic survey of coalbed. But for the steeply-inclined coalbed, the average velocity changes rapidly laterally, and the interpretation accuracy varies greatly, so that the intelligent coal mining could not be assured effectively. Herein, the accuracy of various average-velocity-interpolation methods was discussed by analyzing a steeply-inclined coalbed model and a practical 3D seismic mining area and appropriate improvement methods were proposed accordingly. The calculation results of a forward model show that the bottom elevation accuracy of coalbed is greatly affected by the locations of interpolation points in the case …

Coal Geology & Exploration

With the effective implementation of China’s policy on cutting the overcapacity of coal, a number of mines with exhausted resources and backward production capacity have been shut down and abandoned. Thus, the traditional independent industrial and mining areas become silent, and the industrial plazas serving coal production and workers’ lives are faced with the problems such as function loss and idle land. Therefore, excavating the value of the closed coal mine industrial plazas and giving it new functions is the key to revitalize the existing resources and stimulate the vitality of independent industrial and mining areas.

Discontinuities are inherent components of rock masses and can range from fissures to large faults. Single fissures, the so-called flaws, may affect the mechanical behavior of rock mass, crack initiation, and propagation. In this paper, numerical investigations have been conducted on central-flawed cylindrical specimens subjected to axial loading to investigate the effect of flaw angle (α), length (2a), and aperture (A) on their mechanical behavior and crack development. Particle Flow Code (PFC3D) was adopted to investigate the cracking process of the cylindrical specimens and maximum principal stresses at flaw tips.

The stress sensitivity of coal reservoir reduces the permeability, which in turn affects the productivity of coalbed methane (CBM)wells. So how to reduce this effect from stress sensitivity deserves further study in the CBM wells drainage process. To clarify the stress sensitivity characteristic and differences of different rank coal reservoirs, coal samples collected respectively from Fanzhuang block (high rank coal), Baode block (medium rank coal) and Erlian Basin (low rank lignite) were employed in this study. The stress sensitivity experiments of different rank coal samples were systematically carried out during loading and unloading process. Meanwhile, stress sensitivity mechanism was analyzed. …

Coal reservoirs have the characteristics of high adsorption, low permeability, easy compression and easy breakage. At the drilling and completing stage of horizontal coalbed methane wells, coal reservoir damage often occurs and leads to a significant reduction in coal seam permeability, thereby resulting in single well production. Through experimental analysis, the solid phase particles in drilling and completion fluids for horizontal well and the solid phase components induced by fluid flow are found to block the micro-fractures in the coal reservoir, and the damage mechanism for coal reservoir is elucidated to the drilling and completion reservoir of the horizontal well …
