Laboratory and Simulation Investigation of Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery by Gas Injection 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Methane/carbon dioxide/nitrogen flow and adsorption behavior within coal is investigated simultaneously from a laboratory
and simulation perspective. The samples are from a coalbed in the Powder River Basin, WY. They are characterized by methane,
carbon dioxide, and nitrogen sorption isotherms, as well as porosity and permeability measurements. This coal adsorbs almost
three times as much carbon dioxide as methane and exhibits significant hysteresis among pure-component adsorption and desorption
isotherms that are characterized as Langmuir-like. Displacement experiments were conducted with pure nitrogen, pure carbon
dioxide, and various mixtures. Recovery factors are greater than 94% of the OGIP. Most interestingly, the coal exhibited ability
to separate nitrogen from carbon dioxide due to the preferential strong adsorption of carbon dioxide. Injection of a mixture
rich in carbon dioxide gives slower initial recovery, increases breakthrough time, and decreases the volume of gas needed
to sweep out the coalbed. Injection gas rich in nitrogen leads to relatively fast recovery of methane, earlier breakthrough,
and a significant fraction of nitrogen in the produced gas at short times. A one-dimensional, two-phase (gas and solid) model
was employed to rationalize and explain the experimental data and trends. Reproduction of binary behavior is characterized
as excellent, whereas the dynamics of ternary systems are predicted with less accuracy. For these coals, the most sensitive
simulation input were the multicomponent adsorption–desorption isotherms, including scanning loops. Additionally, the coal
exhibited a two-porosity matrix that was incorporated numerically. 相似文献
