Numerical Simulation of Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Characteristics of Low Permeable Coal-Rock Mass

Abstract:

Based on the coal-rock mass deformation model, hydraulic pressure descent model in fracture, fracture propagation model and its growth criterion, the mathematical model of hydraulic fracturing of low permeable coal-rock mass is established, and the influencing factors such as injection pressure, elastic modulus of coal-rock mass and in-situ stress, which affect the characteristics of hydraulic fracture propagation, are studied using the ANSYS software. The results show that fracture length presents a linear increase and widest width increases as an exponent function with the increase of injection pressure, and the ability of making fracture width is greater than fracture length during late fracturing; besides, with the increase of Young’s modulus of coal-rock mass and least horizontal stress, fracture length and widest width decrease, which are independent of maximum horizontal stress. The obtained conclusions provide a guiding role for the optimization of operation parameters of field hydraulic fracturing of low permeable coal-rock.
