摘要
Wells interference is the key for the vertical expansion of the pressure drop funnel in a single well and the superposition coupling of pressure drop propagation in adjacent wells.Accurate identification of coalbed methane (CBM) interference is conducive to reasonable layout and infill adjustment of well pattern.This paper analyzes the characteristics of reservoir pressure-propagation, main interference control factors, interference evaluation, well pattern-optimization and adjustment.Also, the paper systematically summarizes the main research progress of CBM wells interference and well pattern-adjustment at home and abroad:① The wells interference of the well-pattern is essentially the superposition of the pressure drop propagation of adjacent wells.The migration of energy from coal reservoirs by pressure drop enhances the dynamics of methane-desorption in pores and gas migration in fractures to some extent, which increases the productivity of interfering wells; ② Wells interference in coal reservoirs is mainly controlled by geological structure, permeability, coal body structure, roof-floor lithology, well spacing, fracturing effect, drainage-production system, and their coupling effects; ③ There are four methods to assess wells interference:interference well test, production dynamic analysis, mathematical model analysis, and numerical simulation analysis, and theoretical and practical analysis.Two or more methods can be combined to determine the degree of interference more accurately; ④ Infilling a horizontal well has a larger pressure relief range and longer pressure propagation distance than a vertical well, but it has higher requirements for geological conditions, and infill mining technology is complex.In addition, the future research directions in this field are pointed out, and the new trends of development include the fracture shape and elongation before and after wells interference of different reservoir types of CBM, the response mechanism of microscopic seepage and geochemistry to wells interference, the wells interference mass transfer mechanism of multiphase fluid coupled with precipitation and expansion, the determination of stress field and temperature field of CBM wells interference between positive and negative effect, the fluid transmission system and the mechanism of migration and accumulation after wells interference, the development of a new interference monitoring technology for nanomaterials, the intelligent identification of the degree of wells interference, and the development of new technology of wells interference optimization combined with CBM bioengineering. © 2020, Editorial Office of Journal of China Coal Society.
