考虑围压约束的深煤岩峰前‒峰后能量脆性综合评价方法
A Comprehensive Brittleness Evaluation Method for Deep Coal Reservoirs Based on Pre⁃ and Post⁃Peak Energy Characteristics under Confining Pressure Constraints
,
深部煤岩储层压裂开发中,脆性评价的准确性直接影响压裂效果,但现有方法多针对页岩设计,难以适用于煤岩复杂的原生裂隙和围压敏感特性.通过三轴压缩试验获取煤岩应力‒应变曲线,引入损伤变量量化峰前裂纹演化对能量分配的非线性影响,构建损伤‒能量双参数峰前脆性指标Bpre;结合围压动态约束效应,建立应力降速率‒围压耦合的峰后脆性指数Bpost,并采用调和平均法得到了基于峰前‒峰后能量特征与围压约束的煤岩脆性指数Bcoal.试验结果表明,Bcoal能有效区分不同围压下煤岩的脆性差异,在5~20 MPa围压下评价结果可靠,且相较于传统方法具有更高的敏感性和可靠性.该研究提升了煤岩脆性评价准确性,为煤层气压裂优化提供重要理论支撑.
The accuracy of brittleness evaluation critically influences the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing in deep coal reservoirs; however, conventional methods, largely developed for shale, are inadequate for coal rocks owing to their complex cleat systems and pronounced sensitivity to confining pressure. To address this, triaxial compression tests were conducted to obtain the stress-strain curves of coal rocks. A damage variable was introduced to quantify the nonlinear impact of pre-peak crack evolution on energy distribution, formulating a dual-parameter pre-peak brittleness index, Bpre, based on damage and energy. Incorporating the dynamic constraint effect of confining pressure, a post-peak brittleness index, Bpost, was established by coupling the stress drop rate with confining pressure. Subsequently, a comprehensive coal brittleness index, Bcoal, was derived by employing the harmonic mean method, integrating both pre- and post-peak energy characteristics and confining pressure constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that Bcoal effectively differentiates the brittleness of coal rocks across varying confining pressures, demonstrating reliable evaluation within the confining pressure range of 5 to 20 MPa, and exhibiting superior sensitivity and reliability over traditional methods. This study enhances the accuracy of coal brittleness evaluation, thereby providing crucial theoretical support for the optimization of coalbed methane fracturing strategies.
