Abstract:
In this study, the coupling equation of binary gas diffusion-seepage-heat transfer field was established. COMSOL was used to simulate the change laws of displacement effect, CO
2 storage, CH
4 production and coal permeability during CO
2 displacement of CH
4 at different temperatures and pressures. The results show that CO
2 displacement will lead to CH
4 pressure rising higher than the original reservoir pressure in some area. CO
2 storage and CH
4 production increase with the increase of displacement pressure. When the displacement pressure increases from 2 MPa to 6 MPa, the displacement ratio increases from 2.85 to 4.38. However, when the displacement temperature increases from 20 ℃ to 100 ℃, the displacement ratio decreases from 4.38 to 4.34. In the process of displacement mining, displacement pressure is the main factor affecting the displacement effect. With the displacement, the influence range of CO
2 gradually increases. In the area affected by CO
2, the CO
2 injection has a great influence on the permeability of coal seam, the adsorption of CO
2 by coal matrix makes the permeability of coal seam decrease rapidly. In the area unaffected by CO
2, the coal permeability increases with the desorption of CH
4.
