  • 摘要: 深部煤层岩石力学特性及微构造、顶底板岩性组合、煤层厚度、夹矸厚度对其应力影响机制不清,制约了差异化气藏工程设计、大规模压裂改造设计参数优化和单井产量的大幅提升。首先,采用三轴抗压试验、巴西劈裂试验、三轴抗剪试验及阵列声波测井曲线,探究静态岩石力学参数单井分布特征;然后,通过差应变试验方法明确研究区煤层、顶底板现今地应力大小;最后,基于力学试验结果,构建三维地质力学模型并开展了不同条件下的应力模拟,以获得不同微构造形态、岩性组合、煤岩厚度和夹矸厚度等因素对深部煤储层的应力影响机制。结果表明:① 基于岩石力学试验,研究区深部煤岩样品的煤岩平均弹性模量为7.19 GPa,平均泊松比为0.32,平均抗张强度为2.68 MPa,平均垂向应力为51.78 MPa,平均最大水平主应力为43.66 MPa,平均最小水平主应力为37.57 MPa。② 数值模拟表明煤岩微构造、煤层厚度和顶底板岩性组合等对煤岩地应力均有较大影响,在相同顶底板条件下,煤层从正向微构造向负向微构造转变的过程中,煤层最小水平主应力逐渐增大,负向构造部位地应力大于正向和平缓微构造部位,随着煤层与围岩力学性质差异性的增大,煤层地应力呈减小趋势,且减小幅度依次为负向构造>正向构造>平缓区;③ 鄂尔多斯盆地深层8号煤的6种顶底板岩性组合中,顶板灰岩−底板砂岩组合下的煤岩最小水平主应力最小,顶板泥岩−底板泥岩组合下的煤岩最小水平主应力最大,顶底板与煤层力学性质相差越大,煤岩应力值越小;④ 其他条件相同时,随着煤层厚度的增大,煤岩水平主应力、水平主应力差总体呈增加趋势,厚度变化对厚度小于4 m的薄煤层的应力影响更为敏感,当煤层厚度大于4~6 m后,水平主应力、水平主应力差增幅趋于平缓,故建议水平井开发的深部煤层厚度下限为4 m;煤层厚度从2 m增大至10 m,最小、最大水平主应力增幅分别为12.9%和23.3%,水平主应力差增幅达98.3%;⑤ 夹矸厚度从0.5 m增至7 m过程中,夹矸所受水平主应力及应力差下降幅度明显,降幅约为34.1%,当夹矸厚度大于3 m时,夹矸水平主应力、水平主应力差降幅趋于平缓。为深部煤层气开发方案优化设计、工程差异化设计及单井产量差异原因分析等方面,提供了重要的试验和理论指导依据。

     

    Abstract: Influence mechanism of rock mechanical properties and microstructure, the lithological combination of roof/floor, and coal thickness and gangue thickness on their stress of deep coal seam are unclear, which restricts differentiated gas reservoir engineering design, optimization of parameters for large-scale fracturing transformation design, and significant increase in single well production. The single well distribution characteristics of static rock mechanics parameters were determined using triaxial compression tests, Brazilian splitting tests, triaxial shear tests, and array acoustic logging curves.The current stress levels of coal seams, roof and floor in the study area were determined through differential strain experiments. A three-dimensional geomechanical model was constructed based on the results of mechanical experiments, and stress simulations were carried out under different microstructural shapes, lithological combinations, coal rock thickness, and gangue thickness conditions. The results show that: ① The average values for the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio,tensile strength of deep coal are 7.19 GPa, 0.32, and 2.68 GPa respectively, and the average values for the vertical, primary minimum and maximum stresses are 51.78, 43.66, and 37.57 MPa respectively. ② Numerical simulation shows that coal microstructure, seam thickness and roof and floor lithology combination have great influence on coal rock in-situ stress. Under the same roof and floor conditions, the minimum horizontal principal stress of coal seam increases gradually during the transition from positive microstructure to negative microstructure, the minimum horizontal principal stress of the coal seam gradually increases and the stress in the negative structural area is greater than that in the positive and gentle structural areas. As the difference in mechanical properties between the coal seam and the surrounding rock increases, the stress in the coal seam shows a decreasing trend, with the magnitude of the decrease being negative structural > positive structural > gentle area. ③ Six combinations of roof/floor rock types of deep 8th coal seam in the Ordos Basin were classified, among which the minimum horizontal principal stress of coal rock under the combination of roof limestone and floor sandstone was the smallest, and under the combination of roof mudstone and floor mudstone was the largest. The greater the difference in mechanical properties between the roof and floor and the coal seam, the smaller the coal rock stress value. ④ When other conditions are the same, as the thickness of the coal seam increases, the horizontal principal stress and horizontal principal stress difference of the coal rock generally show an increasing trend. The influence of thickness changes on the stress of thin coal seams is more sensitive when the coal seam thickness is less than 4 m. After the thickness of the coal seam is greater than 4-6 m, the increase in horizontal principal stress and horizontal principal stress difference slows down. When the thickness of the coal seam increases from 2 m to 10 m, the minimum and maximum horizontal principal stress increases by 12.9% and 23.3% respectively, and the increase in horizontal principal stress difference reaches 98.3%.⑤ As the thickness of the gangue increases from 0.5 m to 7 m, the horizontal principal stress and stress difference of the gangue decrease significantly by 34.1%. When the thickness of the gangue is greater than 3 m, the decrease in horizontal principal stress and stress difference of the gangue slows down.The above new achievements and insights provide important experimental and theoretical guidance for the division of deep coalbed methane development plan optimization, engineering differentiation design, and analysis of production differences,etc.
