  • Patent number: 10858913
    Abstract: A permeability enhancement method for coalbed methane wells by using electric pulse detonation fracturing technology is applicable to exploitation of coalbed methane wells in coal beds with low permeability. Firstly, a positive electrode coalbed methane wellbore and a negative electrode coalbed methane wellbore are constructed from the ground surface to a coal bed. A fixed platform installed with a positive electrode and a high-voltage pulse device are placed, by using a derrick, downwards to a predetermined permeability enhancement portion of the coal bed in the positive electrode coalbed methane wellbore, and another fixed platform installed with a negative electrode is placed, by using a derrick, downwards to a predetermined permeability enhancement portion of the coal bed in the negative electrode coalbed methane wellbore.

  • Patent number: 10378327
    Abstract: A gas extraction method in which high energy gas fracturing technology is used to form a fracture network in a thermal injection borehole. Then high-pressure, cyclically temperature-changing steam is injected into the borehole using a spinning oscillating-pulse jet nozzle to form oscillating superheated steam, alternatingly impacting and heating the coal body. The high energy gas forms a fracture network that provides channels for passage of the superheated steam, while oscillating changes in steam temperature and pressure also promote crack propagation and perforation of the coal body; the combined effect of alternation of the two enhances gas desorption and extraction efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10370942
    Abstract: A method for combining integrated drilling, flushing and slotting with thermal injection to enhance coalbed gas extraction, applicable to managing gas extraction from microporous, low-permeability, high-adsorption coalbed areas. A gas extraction borehole is drilled within a certain distance of a predetermined drilling, flushing and slotting borehole, and, once sealed, is used for gas extraction. An integrated drilling, flushing and slotting drill bit is used to sink the borehole, which is then sealed. Concentration variation in the gas extraction borehole is monitored in real time, and when concentration is below 30%, borehole is opened and high-temperature steam is injected by means of a steam generator, after which the borehole is again closed.

  • Patent number: 10060238
    Abstract: A method for combining integrated drilling and slotting with oscillating thermal injection to enhance coalbed gas extraction, applicable to managing gas extraction from microporous, low-permeability, high-adsorption coal seam areas. A number of slots are formed within a thermal injection/extraction borehole by means of integrated drilling and slotting technology; a steam generator, is then used to three high-pressure, cyclically temperature-changing steam into said borehole; the steam passing through a spinning, oscillating-pulse jet nozzle forms an oscillating superheated steam, heating the coal body. The present method overcomes the limitations of simple permeability-increasing techniques, the slotting by means of hydraulic.
