Sorption behavior of coal for implication in coal bed methane an overview

CBM has been recognized as a significant natural gas resource for a long time. Recently, CO_2 sequestration in coalbeds for ECBM has been attracting growing attention because of greater concerns about the effects of greenhouse gases and the emerging commercial significance of CBM. Reservoir-simulation technology,as a useful tool of reservoir development, has the capability to provide us with an economic means to solve complex reservoir-engineering problems with efficiency. The pore structure of coal is highly heterogeneous, and the heterogeneity of the pores depends on the coal type and rank.

Experimental study on effects of CBM temperature-rising desorption

To study the effects of CBM （coal bed methane） temperature-rising desorption, isothermal adsorption/desorption experiments on three ranks （anthracite, coking coal and lignite） of coal at different temperatures were designed based on the traditional CBM decompression desorption. The experimental results indicate that temperature-rising desorption is more effec- tive in high-rank coal, and ever-increasing temperature of high-rank coal reservoir can reduce the negative effects of coal ma- trix shrinkage in the process of production and improve the permeability of the coal reservoir as well. It is also revealed that the technique of temperature-rising desorption applied in higher-rank coal reservoir can enhance CBM recovery ratio. This study provided theoretical support for the application of temperature-rising desorption technique in practical discharging and mining projects, which can effectively tackle the gas production bottleneck problem.

Research on the sensitivity for the coal mine gas concentration detection by laser spectrum absorption

Because of the former gas chemistry examination method defects, tunable diode laser absorption spectrum technology （TDLAS） was used. It used an isolated absorption spectrum of the gas molecule to measure the gas absorption spectrum in order to distinguish the gas conveniently. The second harmonic （20 was measured in this system. Due to the fact which the harmonious signal is proportional to the concentration of the absorption gas, the gas concentration may be obtained through examining harmonious signal. The theoretical analysis and the experimental result indicate that under the same level of pressure, survey with the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） of 2fsignal increases the accuracy by one order of magnitude and may reach 10 ^-3 and the sensitivity may reach the 10^-6 level compared to that of direct absorption. 5% methane density and a 30 cm absorption cell were used in the experiment. It has several advantages including high sensitivity, best resolution, and faster response and so on. The gas concentration monitoring of coal mine may be accomplished.

Research on attenuation characteristic of sound wave in coal or rock body

In order to using power sound wave increase permeability of coal, rules of attenuation of sound wave in coal should be studied. In this paper, characteristic and mechanism of attenuation of sound wave in coal was researched according to acoustic theory and attenuation coefficients was estimated by acoustic parameter of coal. The research results show that the main attenuation mechanism of sound wave in coal is absorption attenuation and scattering attenuation. The absorption attenuation includes viscous absorption, thermal conduction absorption and relaxation absorption. Attenuation coefficient of sound wave in gaseous coal is 38.5 Np/m. Researches on attenuation characteristic of sound wave will provide the theoretical basis for power sound wave improving permeability of coal and accelerating desorption of coal bed gas.

Prediction on adsorption ratio of carbon dioxide to methane on coals with multiple linear regression

The multiple linear regression equations for adsorption ratio of CO2/CH4 and its coal quality indexes were built with SPSS software on basis of existing coal quality data and its adsorption amount of CO2 and OH4. The regression equations built were tested with data collected from some s, and the influences of coal quality indexes on adsorption ratio of CO2/CH4 were studied with investigation of regression equations. The study results show that the regression equation for adsorption ratio of CO2/CH4 and volatile matter, ash and moisture in coal can be obtained with multiple linear regression analysis, that the influence of same coal quality index with the degree of metamorphosis or influence of coal quality indexes for same coal rank on adsorption ratio is not consistent.

Geologically controlling factors on coal bed methane （CBM） productivity in Liulin

It is of great significance to forecast high yield of CBM wells and analyze dynamic production by having an overall study on the characteristics of the produced CBM and determining the main factors influencing the productivity of CBM. With the test report and the related geological parameters of a single well, methods of combining the productivity data and typical production curves were used to analyze different geological factors and how to influence the capacity of a single layer. Then, the paper proposed a new understanding about capacity characteristics of the study area and geological control factors： First, the Shanxi formation production capacity characteristics was divided into two-stages, showing signs of gas and gas break- through for 100 days. Second, two parameters, which include potential of gas production and gas production capacity, were bet- ter than the single parameter, such as gas content, coal thickness, and penetration to analyze affecting factors of single well pro- duction. Finally, comprehensive analysis concluded that the ratio of critical desorption pressure to reservoir pressure has greater influence on the production of vertical CBM wells. Besides, the potential of gas production capacity has greater impact at stage of showing gas signs; the coal reservoir pressure and gas production capacity have greater impact at stage of gas breakthrough for 100 days. Thus, to seek the coal bed methane with high ratio of critical desorption pressure to reservoir pressure and high yield of gas will be important guarantee to the success of the coal bed methane exploration and development.

High rank coalbed methane desorption characteristic and its application in production in Qinshui basin

Based on spontaneous desorption characteristic, the correlation of desorption time and gas content was analyzed and the application of it in production was researched. The desorption of high rank coalbed methane in Qinshui basin was periodic, and isotope fractionation effect also exists in the process. △δ^13C1 can be used to distinguish the stabilization of coalbed methane wells, associated with desorption rate, the individual well recoverable reserves can be calculated. Economically recoverable time can be predicted according to the logarithmic relationship between desorption gas content per ton and desorption time. The error between predicted result and numerical simulation result is only 1.5%.

Experimental study of enhancing coalbed methane recovery by carbon dioxide injection driving methane

In order to enhance coalbed methane recovery, taking a self-developed largecalesimulation system for the platform, a modeling experiment of driving CH_4 by CO_2 gasinjection was studied.The results of experiment indicates that there is a significant lag effectof adsorption and desorption on gas, the gas pressure is changed more rapidly in theprocess of carbon dioxide adsorption of coal than methane adsorption of coal; After theinjection 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 amountof displacement desorption, the speed and amount of displacement desorption becamegreater.In the process of replacement, CH_4 concentration constantly declined, while CO_2concentration constantly rose.In the process of CO_2 gas injection, the temperature of coalhave been significantly increased, it is more beneficial to make CH_4 gas molecules becomefree from the adsorbed state when temperature is increased.Under the pressurestep-down at the same rate, using the method of CO_2 driving CH_4, compared with themethod of conventional pressure step-down, the desorption rate of CH_4 in coal can beraised about 2.13 times, at the same time, a lot of greenhouse gas CO_2 will also be buriedin the ground, there is a very significant environmental benefit.

Correlation between coal characteristics and methane adsorption on China＇s coals

It is highly important to investigate relationship between coal characteristics and methane adsorption on coal in the fields of coalbed methane recovery. Based on data examination of coal quality indexes collected from the literatures, regression equations for Langmuir adsorption constants, VL or VLIPL, and coal quality indexes for selected coal samples were developed with multiple linear regression of SPSS software according to the degree of coal metamorphosis. The regression equations built were tested with data collected from some literatures, and the influences of coal quality indexes on CH4 adsorption on coals were studied with investigation of regression equations, and the reasons of low accuracy to Langmuir constants calculated with regression equation for a few coal samples were investigated. The results show that the regression equations can be employed to predict Langmuir constants for methane adsorption isotherms on coals obtained using volumetric gas adsorption experiments, which are conducted at 30 ℃ on a wet or dried coal samples with less than 30% ash content in coal. The influence of same coal quality index with various coal rank or influence of various coal quality indexes for same coal rank on CH4 adsorption is not consistent. The regression equations have different accuracy to different coal rank, in which the VL equations supply better prediction accuracy for anthracite and higher prediction error for lower metamorphosis coal, and the PL prediction error with VL and VL/PL equations is lower to bituminous coal and higher to anthracite.

A study of laboratory testing and calculation methods for coal sorption isotherms

Measurement of the volume of gas adsorbed per unit mass of coal with increasing pressure at a constant temperature produces an isotherm that describes the gas storage capacity of this type of coal. The accurate testing and interpretation of coal sorption isotherm plays an important role in the areas of coal mine methane drainage, coalbed methane （CBM） reservoir resource assessment, enhanced coalbed methane （ECBM） recovery, as well as the carbon dioxide （CO2） sequestration in deep coal seams or similar geological formations. Different coal sorption isotherm testing apparatus and associated calculation methods are critically reviewed and presented in this paper. These include both volumetric and gravimetric based methods, as well as experimental sorption tests with confining stress and direction sorption methods. The volumetric techniques utilise experimental apparatus with sample cell and injection pump and that with both sample cell and reference cell. Whilst the gravimetric approachesinclude methods with sample cell and suspension magnetic balance and that with both sample cell and reference cell. Different testing methods are compared and discussed in this study. A unique in-house-built coal sorption isotherm testing apparatus at the University of Wollongong was presented together with the calculation method, procedures and experimental results. The isotherm results can be calculated by both Soave-Redlich-Kwong （SRK） equation and calibration cure methods which can be used directly to convert the volume of adsorbed gas in different test conditions to standard condition （NTP）.

CO2 Storage Mechanism in Coal and its Effect on Methane Production in Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery

In this study, we provided more theoretical method for estimation of dissolution amount and applied this method to enhanced coalbed methane recovery （ECBMR） simulator. Dissolution amount was measured by method of differential heat of adsorption. Akabira coal, a Japanese bituminous coal, was used for the experiment. The results showed that CO2 was stored in coal by both adsorption and dissolution. Using this result the methane production was calculated by ECBMR-simulator, enhanced coalbed methane recovery simulator, the University of Tokyo （ECOMERS-UT）. Total stored CO2 was separated into adsorption component and dissolution component. Only the former component contributes to the competitive adsorption. Coalbed methane （CBM） production simulation considering the dissolution showed later and smaller peak production and prolonged methane production before the breakthrough than the conventional competitive adsorption.

The role of volatiles and coal structural variation in coal methane adsorption

We investigated the role of volatiles in the porous structure of coal samples and the corresponding structural deformations that affect the coals＇ methane adsorption capacity. For this study, the volatiles in coal were gradually removed by extraction. Changes in the crystal, textural, and porous structures were identified by means of thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption/desorption. Changes in the methane adsorption behavior before and after volatile removal were investigated. It was found that changes in methane adsorption could be attributed to volatile-related deformations in the coal＇s porous structure. Microstructural characterizations indicated that the volatiles could be found in two states within the coal, either trapped in the pores, or cross-linked in the network. The former played an important role in constructing the pore spaces and walls within the coal and affected the accessibility of gases. The latter cross-linked state retained the volatiles within the macromolecular coal structural network. This state affected coal-coal interactions, which was a factor that controlled the crystal structure of coal and contributed to the number of porous deformations.

Numerical description of coalbed methane desorption stages based on isothermal adsorption experiment

Quantitative description of desorption stages of coalbed methane is an important basis to objectively understand the production of coalbed methane well,to diagnose the production state,and to optimize the management of draining and collection of coalbed methane.A series of isothermal adsorption experiments were carried out with 12 anthracite samples from 6 coalbed methane wells located in the south of the Qinshui Basin,based on the results of isothermal adsorption experiments,and an analytical model was developed based on the Langmuir sorption theory.With the model,a numerical method that adopts equivalent desorption rate and its curve was established,which can be used to characterize the staged desorption of coalbed methane.According to the experimental and numerical characterizations,three key pressure points determined by the equivalent desorption rate curvature that defines pressure-declining desorption stage,have been proposed and confirmed,namely,start-up pressure,transition pressure and sensitive pressure.By using these three key pressure points,the process of coalbed methane desorption associated with isothermal adsorption experiments can be divided into four stages,i.e.,zero desorption stage,slow desorption stage,transition desorption stage,and sensitive desorption stage.According to analogy analysis,there are differences and similarities between the processes of coalbed methane desorption identified by isothermal adsorption experiments and observed in gas production.Moreover,it has been found that larger Langmuir volume and ratio of Langmuir constants are beneficial to earlier advent of steady production stage,whereas it is also possible that the declining production stage may occur ahead of schedule.
