Abstract

Temperature is a key factor affecting the CO2 injection efficiency and CH4 production efficiency, so it is of great significance to clarify the evolution diagram of temperature change during the CO2-ECBM process. In this study, the crushed soft coal seam with low permeability in Huainan coalfield was taken as the research object. Firstly, the fully coupled mathematical models of CO2-ECBM process were constructed, and the influence of temperature field on CO2-ECBM process was emphasized. Secondly, the evolution law of CO2-ECBM process at different time was revealed. Then, the effects of injection temperature and initial temperature on the CO2-ECBM process were analyzed. Finally, the evolution mechanism of reservoir temperature during the CO2-ECBM process was illustrated, and the effect of temperature on temperature field of CO2-ECBM process was further illustrated. The results show that the longer the displacement time, the CH4 concentration gradually decreased, and the CO2 concentration gradually increased. The area where the temperature changes are more concentrated focuses on the vicinity of CO2 injection well, which are mainly determined by the dominant reaction of adsorption and desorption reactions of binary gas. Reservoir temperature and permeability are positively and negatively correlated with injection temperature, respectively. Both CO2 storage capacity and CH4 production capacity increase with the increase of injection temperature, and the sensitivity of CO2 storage capacity to temperature was greater than that of CH4 production capacity. With the increase of displacement time and injection volume, the effective displacement radius increases, but the increment of influencing radius gradually decreases. The lower the initial temperature of coal reservoir, the larger the influencing radius, and which increases with the increase of displacement time. CO2 storage capacity and CH4 production capacity decrease with the increase of initial temperature. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio can effectively change the reservoir strength. CO2 storage capacity and CH4 production capacity decrease with the increase of Young's modulus, and increase with the increase of Poisson's ratio. This study can support the engineering landing of CO2-ECBM technology in crushed soft coal seam with low permeability, and promote the realization of China's “Dual Carbon” strategic goal.
