Acidizing technology
is an important means to increase production
in oil-gas reservoirs. In recent years, acidizing technology has been
widely used to increase the permeability of coal seams to enhance
gas extraction, where acidizing fluid is the key factor to determine
the permeability improvement effect by acidizing technology. In order
to clarify the influence of mixed acid fluid on the pore structure
of high rank coal and seek the optimal mixed acid fluid suitable for
acidizing and permeability improvement of high rank coal in the Jiaozuo
coal mine area. Taking the Jiulishan Mine in the Jiaozuo mining area
as an example, low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LFNMR) test and
static dissolution test were conducted to obtain the

spectrum, porosity, movable fluid saturation, pore throat
distribution, nuclear magnetic permeability, and dissolution rate
of coal samples before and after treatment with distilled water and
three mixed acid fluids. On this basis, the influence of mixed acid
fluid on the pore structure of high rank coal was analyzed and the
optimal mixed acid fluid suitable for high rank coal was selected.
The results showed that the pore size, number, and volume of all kinds
of pore sizes of coal samples treated with distilled water all decreased,
which was manifested by the decrease of effective porosity and nuclear
magnetic permeability. After acidification, the proportion of micropore
volume in coal decreased significantly, the number and proportion
of pore volume of mesopores and macropore-microfractures increased
significantly, and the connectivity between mesopores and macropore-microfractures
was enhanced, which was characterized by the increase in effective
porosity and nuclear magnetic permeability of coal samples. After
acidification, the pore-throat ratio of adsorption pores of all coal
samples decreased, while the pore-throat ratio of seepage pores increased.
By comparatively analyzing the change law of pore structure of coal
samples before and after acidizing with three kinds of mixed acid
fluids, the optimal mixed acid fluid suitable for acidizing and permeability
improvement of high rank coal in the Jiaozuo coal mine area was selected,
which was 12%HCL +3%HF.
