Study on Influencing Factors of Coal Fines Produced by CBM Wells in Hancheng Block, Shaanxi Province, China

Abstract:

To ensure the continuous and stable exhaust process of coalbed methane wells, prevent coal fines from lowering the guidance ability of seepage channel, and solve the problem of stuck pump and submerged pump caused by gathering of coal fines, taking Hancheng block as the experimental area, this paper analyses on the source of the coal fines, and divides it into two categories of original coal fines and secondary coal fines. Based on the characteristics of coal petrography, coal structure, coal seam and engineering factors, we make analysis of their factor on the output of coal fines, and we conclude that the characteristics of coal petrography are the foundation, and the engineering is the precipitating factor, but the development of deformed coal is the primary factor. The study on the division of types of coal fines and output factors can provide a guidance for reasonable coal-fines-control measures.
