The results show that high water yield would decrease the produc- tivity of CBM wells, and the mechanism is: first, in some circumstances, high water yield could reflect that there was dissipa- tion during the process of coalbed methane reservoir forming, which would lower the gas saturation of coal gas reservoir and reduce the productivity of CBM well; second, a large quantity of coalbed methane dissipated in the form of solution gas, caus- ing the practical reservoir pressure when gas appeared in casing to be lower than critical desorption pressure of the coal bed; finally, the CBM well with high water yield would have higher requirements of discharge and mining installation, system and continuity, and any link with problems would have a great impact on the well's productivity and would increase the difficulty of discharge and mining. In the case of wells with high water yield, the key is to select applicable discharge and mining installa- tion, which should be able to make the bottom hole flowing pressure decline smoothly and fast, and make the wells produce gas as quickly as possible but able to slow down the rate of discharge and mining properly when gas has appeared. In addition, in view of the CBM wells with high water yield, an installation lectotype method based on Darcy's law was proposed, which was found with good accuracy and practicability through field application.展开更多

On the basis of the actual production data of X-2 well of Zhucang syncline in Bide-Santang basin,by simulating the gas production process of a CBM well under the condition of multiple seam with COMET3 numerical simulation software, we analyze the influencing factors of gas productivity during the process of multi-seam drainage, and illuminate the interlayer interference mechanism of multiseam drainage. The results show that permeability, reservoir pressure gradient, critical desorption pressure and fluid supply capacity of stratum have great influence on gas productivity of multi-seam drainage while coal thickness has little influence on it. Permeability, reservoir pressure gradient and fluid supply capacity of stratum affect the propagation velocity of reservoir pressure drop and thereby affect the final gas productivity. Moreover, the influence of critical desorption pressure on gas productivity of multiseam drainage is reflected in the gas breakthrough time and effective desorption area.展开更多

The paper introduced several methods in calculating with well logs such important parameters as porosity, permeability and gas content of CBM reservoir and evaluated their effectiveness. A new method of well logging data interpretation was put forward for coalbed recognition, i.e., the combination of the principal component analysis and the wavelet transform. The authors find that the second principal component (PCA2) contains much more information of coalbed in the coal-bearing series and the reconstruction signal from the detailed wavelet coefficients at level 4 (PCA24) and 5 (PCA25) highlights the signature ofcoalbeds. In terms of the characteristics of CBM reservoir in China, the authors summarized the key points in the application of well logging technique to CBM exploration, and gave a guideline for further related research work.展开更多
