摘要

In order to enhance coalbed methane recovery, taking a self-developed largecale simulation system for the platform, a modeling experiment of driving CH4 by CO2 gas injection was studied. The results of experiment indicates that there is a significant lag effect of adsorption and desorption on gas, the gas pressure is changed more rapidly in the process of carbon dioxide adsorption of coal than methane adsorption of coal; After the injection of carbon dioxide, compare with methane single desorption. In an early stage,speed and amount of methane single desorption are greater than the speed and amount of displacement desorption, the speed and amount of displacement desorption became greater. In the process of replacement, CH4 concentration constantly declined, while CO2concentration constantly rose. In the process of CO2 gas injection, the temperature of coal have been significantly increased, it is more beneficial to make CH4 gas molecules become free from the adsorbed state when temperature is increased. Under the pressure step-down at the same rate, using the method of CO2 driving CH4, compared with the method of conventional pressure step-down, the desorption rate of CH4 in coal can be raised about 2.13 times, at the same time, a lot of greenhouse gas CO2 will also be buried in the ground, there is a very significant environmental benefit.
