Abstract

In order to explore the influences of effective stress change on gas adsorption–desorption behaviors, primary undeformed coal (PUC) and tectonically deformed coal (TDC) from the same coal seam were used for adsorption–desorption experiments under different effective stress conditions. Experimental results showed that gas adsorption and desorption behaviors were controlled by the coal core structure and the pore-fissure connectivity under effective stress. The coal matrixes and fissures were compressed together under effective stress to reduce connectivity, and it was difficult for gas to absorb and desorb as the stress increased in primary undeformed coal. The loose structure of tectonically deformed coal cores can help gas to fully contact with the coal matrix, resulting in higher adsorption gas volumes. The support of coal particles in tectonically deformed coal cores weakens the compression of intergranular pores when effective stress increases, which in this study manifested in the fact that while the volumetric strain of the coal matrix change rapidly under low effective stress, but the adsorbed gas volume did not decrease significantly. The reduction in effective stress induced the rapid elastic recovery of the coal matrix and the expansion of cracks, and increased desorption gas volumes. The stress reduction significantly increased the initial gas volume of the tectonically deformed coal, while promoting slow and continuous gas desorption in primary undeformed coal. Therefore, the promotion effect of the reservoir pressure reduction on gas desorption and coal connectivity enhancement can help to improve coalbed methane recovery in primary undeformed coal and tectonically deformed coal reservoirs.
