During
the CO2-ECBM process in crushed soft coal with
low permeability (CSLP-Coal), the analysis of the fully coupled mechanism
of the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) fields is conducive
to engineering promotion of CO2-ECBM technology. In this
study, the CSLP-Coal in Huainan and Huaibei coalfields was taken as
the research object; the fully coupled mathematical models of THMC
fields were established; the effects of injection pressure, temperature,
and initial permeability were studied; the evolution connotation of
reservoir permeability was discussed; and the reaction mechanism of
the chemical field was analyzed. The evaluation system of the CO2-ECBM project in CSLP-Coal was further established. The results
show that the mathematical models of THMC fields are fully coupled
during the CO2-ECBM process. Injection pressure, temperature,
and initial permeability have great influence on the CO2-ECBM technology. The variation of reservoir permeability is mainly
influenced by the effective stress effect and competitive adsorption
effect of CH4/CO2. The formation of a geochemical
reaction system with CH4/CO2-H2O-coal
is conducive to the engineering popularization of the CO2-ECBM technology. Based on the three indexes, the evaluation system
for the practical effectiveness of CO2-ECBM engineering
in CSLP-Coal in Huainan and Huaibei coalfields can be constructed.
This study has important theoretical and practical significance for
improving the recovery efficiency of CH4 and enhancing
the ability of CO2 storage in CSLP-Coal.
