摘要:

中国低煤阶煤层气在西北和东北地区均有分布,主要赋存于侏罗系、白垩系和古近系,煤层数量多、厚度大但含气量低。埋深2 000 m以浅低煤阶煤层气资源量约14.7×1012 m3,勘探开发潜力巨大。系统分析了中国4个典型盆地低煤阶煤层气资源情况,研究了不同埋深和地质组合条件下低煤阶煤层气的典型成藏特征和勘探开发潜力。结果表明:①中国低煤阶煤层气储层渗透性差(渗透率<1×10-3 μm2),煤层水矿化度相对较高(>5 000 mg/L);②基于构造、水动力场和温-压场协同驱动下的低阶煤层气成藏要素解剖,提出了“微相控煤、水文控烃、埋深控储、构造控藏”四元控气模式;③基于典型区带解剖,建立了6种低煤阶煤层气富集模式;④结合美国粉河盆地和澳大利亚苏拉特盆地低煤阶煤层气地质特征和开发实践,认为中国存在多薄煤系共聚和深部煤层气多元封存2种富集高产模式;⑤基于对低煤阶煤层气高效开发至关重要的煤岩条件、资源条件、保存条件、产出条件和可改造性等5种因素的分析,构建了煤层气选区评价方法及指标体系。未来勘探领域是盆地边缘山前逆掩断层下盘、盆地斜坡带深部-中部隆起区2大领域。

Abstract:

The low-rank coalbed methane (CBM) is distributed in both the northwest and northeast regions of China, as dominated by the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Paleogene with coal seams exhibiting large quantities and considerable thicknesses but low gas content. With resources estimated at approximately 14.7 × 1012 m3, the low-rank CBM at burial depths of 2 000 m or less holds tremendous potential for exploration and production. Through a systematic analysis of low-rank CBM resources in four typical basins in China, we investigate the typical accumulation characteristics and the exploration and production potential of low-rank CBM under various burial depth-geology combinations. The results indicate that low-rank CBM reservoirs in China manifest low permeability (<1 × 10-3 μm2), and relatively high salinity of coal seam water (>5 000 mg/L). An analysis of the factors governing the accumulation of low-rank CBM under the synergistic effects of tectonism and hydrodynamic, temperature, and pressure fields reveals a gas enrichment-controlling pattern consisting of sedimentary microfacies-controlled coal occurrence, hydrogeology-controlled gas generation and preservation, burial depth-controlled reservoir properties, and tectonism-controlled gas accumulation. Six enrichment patterns of low-rank CBM are identified based on the analysis of typical zones. In combination with the geological characteristics and production practice of low-rank CBM in the Powder River Basin of the United States and the Surat Basin of Australia, we propose two enrichment patterns of low-rank CBM in China featuring high productivity, that is, the accumulation of gas from multiple single thin-bedded coal seams and deep CBM multiple factor-controlled storage. An assessment methodology and index system for the selection of CBM target areas are developed based on the analysis of five crucial factors for the efficient production of low-rank CBM: coal composition, resource potential, preservation conditions, production conditions, and fracability. Future exploration targets include the footwalls of piedmont overthrust faults along basin margins and the deep-central uplifted areas of slope zones within basins.
