Influence of CO2 injection timing on enhanced coalbed methane recovery using thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled model
Delayed CO2 injection can prevent premature CO2 breakthrough to production wells during CO2 enhanced coalbed methane (CO2-ECBM) recovery. Currently, the influence of CO2 injection timing on CO2-ECBM recovery is unclear. In this paper, the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupled model was established to investigate the CO2-ECBM recovery with different injection timings. The porosity evolution characteristics and the optimal injection timing were determined. The results show that high-pressure CO2 injection elevates reservoir pressure and enhances CH4 production. As injection time increases, reservoir temperature rises, and permeability declines. Delayed CO2 injection can avoid inefficient injection stage and maintain a higher injection rate. Injection timing showed linear correlations with CH4 production, CO2 storage volume, and breakthrough time, and an S-shaped trend with final CH4 concentration. CO2 injection shortens the pore pressure-dominated control stage of porosity and amplifies the influence of gas ad/desorption-induced strain. Temperature changes have a minor effect on porosity, but high initial temperature can reduce gas adsorption, significantly affecting porosity. Finally, the optimal injection time was determined as 1000 d. The results are beneficial for improving the CH4 recovery and realizing the efficient CO2 storage.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
