Energies, Vol. 13, Pages 519: Mechanism of Structural Damage in Low Permeability Coal Material of Coalbed Methane Reservoir under Cyclic Cold Loading (Energies)
 


The pore and fracture structure of coal is the main factor that affects the storage and seepage capacity of coalbed methane. The damage of coal structure can improve the gas permeability of coalbed methane. A coal sample with a drilled hole was kept inside of a custom-designed device to supply confining pressure to the coal sample. Liquid nitrogen was injected into the drilled hole of the coal sample to apply cyclic cold loading. Confining pressures varying from 0~7 MPa to the coal sample were applied to explore the relationship between the structural damage and confining pressure. The structural damage rules of coal samples under different confining pressure were revealed. The results showed that: (1) The structural damage degree of the coal sample increases with the increase of confining pressure; (2) The coal sample was broken after three cycles of cold loading under 7 MPa confining pressure; (3) Without confining pressure, the coal sample is more likely to be damaged or even destroyed by cold liquid nitrogen. (4) The fracture extends along the stratification direction of coal samples, which is significant for coal samples with original fractures, but not obvious for the coal sample without fracture. The research results provide a new method and theoretical basis for permeability improvement of the coal seam.
