The connectivity of the pore/fracture system is the key to CO 2 injection and CH 4 production, which is of great significance in analyzing the correlation and weight of the influencing factors affecting the connectivity on the microscale. First, the 3D reconstruction of the coal reservoir is realized. Second, the characteristic parameters of pore/fracture structures are analyzed. Next, the characteristics of absolute permeability are analyzed, and then the correlation and weight analysis of the influencing factors are realized. Finally, the schematic analysis and application discussion of the influencing factors are carried out. The results show that porosity is the key factor restricting fluid migration. The heterogeneity of the reservoir can be characterized by the volume changes of the pore/fracture, organic matter, and mineral. The interconnected pores/fractures are mainly distributed in sheets and bands. The coordination number ranges from 1 to 15. The Ferret diameter is 0−10 μm. The tortuosity is 2.27111, 1.9034, 3.98522, and 3.51516, respectively, and the Euler characteristic number is 0.931868, 0.974719, 0.921144, and 0.897697, respectively. The permeability of the SH and YW samples is higher than that of the RL and PY samples. The single weight of the influencing factor is as follows: coordination number > Ferret diameter > Euler characteristic number > porosity > tortuosity. The analysis area of the comprehensive evaluation score of the influencing factors and the permeability value can be divided into three grades. There is a positive correlation among the coordination number, the quantity equilibrium of pores and throats, and the connectivity. The shape factor gradually increases with the increase of the Ferret diameter. The reservoir permeability is indirectly characterized by the coordination number, Ferret diameter, tortuosity, Euler characteristic number, and shape factor. This study can provide new ideas for clarifying the correlation degree and weight value of the characteristic parameters and can enrich the development of 3D digital core and CO 2 -ECBM technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
