Abstract

The deep coal-bed methane (CBM) resources represented by the Benxi Formation in the Eastern Ordos Basin have enormous potential and have achieved industrial breakthroughs in recent years. Rock physics modeling is a key research topic for predicting deep CBM reservoirs, but the relationship between parameters such as vitrinite reflectance (Ro), coal rock composition, total gas content, ash content, porosity, and elastic parameters is not clear, necessitating further research on rock physics models suitable for deep CBM reservoirs. On the basis of optimizing the skeleton parameters of the coal matrix (ash content, coal rock type), the porosity parameters of CBM reservoirs are obtained by using the nuclear magnetic resonance method. Equivalent calculation of adsorbed gas and total gas content using adsorbed gas as part of the coal matrix. Based on the measured data, calculate the pore fluid, temperature, and pressure data by taking the average or predicting the curve. Considering the geological characteristics and relevant background of deep CBM reservoirs in the Eastern Ordos Basin, a seismic rock physics model of hydrocarbon reservoirs considering the influence of CBM reservoirs was constructed. The specific process involves using coal matrix + adsorbed gas + matrix pores + cleat (or crack) pores as the dry skeleton, filling with water + free gas as the fluid, and using anisotropic rock physics modeling ideas to complete saturated coal rock physics modeling. By comparing the predicted longitudinal and transverse wave curves with actual measurements, the trends of the two are basically consistent, with a relative error of less than 1%, indicating that the model parameters are reasonably selected.

1 Introduction

In recent years, China’s coal-bed methane (CBM) exploration and development have entered a fast lane, and two major CBM industry bases have been established in the southern part of the Qinshui Basin and the Eastern Ordos Basin [1,2,3]. In Fukang, Northeast Tiefa, Zhijin, Guizhou, and some areas in the east of the Junggar Basin, large-scale capacity construction of CBM has been realized, and the exploration field of CBM has been expanded from shallow to medium depth [1,2,3]. In China, the deep CBM resources with a burial depth between 1,500 and 3,000 m are 30.4 × 1012 m3, showing great potential for exploitation [3,4]. Although breakthroughs have been made in deep CBM exploration, the selection of key parameters for exploration and development assessment and the lack of adaptive engineering technology due to increased burial depth have constrained the effective development of deep CBM. How to accurately predict and evaluate reservoir physical parameters (mineral composition, pore, and cleat [or crack] structure, fluid type, etc.). It has become a focus of attention in CBM exploration. The core problem lies in constructing the mapping relationship between reservoir physical parameters and seismic parameter responses. As a bridge between seismic parameter response and CBM reservoir parameters [5], rock physics modeling is influenced by parameters such as Ro, coal rock composition, total gas content, ash content, and porosity, and the regularity of the relationship with changes in elastic parameters is unclear. Therefore, selecting a suitable prediction method is the key to predicting the controlling factors of gas content in deep CBM reservoirs. Compared to sandstone and shale reservoirs, CBM reservoirs generally have characteristics such as multiple layers, thin thickness, wide lateral distribution, and scattered vertical distribution [6,7,8], which pose great challenges for reservoir prediction. At present, there is relatively little research on the rock physical properties of CBM reservoirs, which cannot effectively explain the relationship between elastic parameters and physical property parameters.

Previous studies have conducted extensive rock physics modeling studies on conventional reservoirs including sandstone and carbonate rocks to simulate and analyze the pore cleat (or crack) structure, brittleness characteristics, anisotropy characteristics, and seismic parameter responses [9,10,11]. Some studies attempt to achieve inversion prediction and evaluation of reservoir physical parameters (mineral composition, fluid type, pore and cleat [or crack] parameters, etc.) based on seismic data by rock physics modeling [12,13]. In the study reported by Liu [14], given the differences between CBM and conventional gas reservoirs, a method for treating adsorbed gas in CBM reservoir modeling is proposed. In 2017, the relationship between CBM content and seismic parameter response has been studied [15]. But unlike conventional reservoirs, CBM reservoirs have characteristics such as adsorbed gas and dual pore systems [5]. There are both matrix pores and cleat (or crack) pores developed, and the typical occurrence mode of CBM is adsorption gas, with some free gas and dissolved gas. At present, rock physics modeling is rarely applied to CBM reservoirs, and the limiting factor is that the equivalent calculation problem of adsorbed gas and dual pores unique to CBM reservoirs has not been effectively solved [3,4], but the key parameters including adsorbed gas content and dual pore media in models proposed by previous studies were obtained through equivalent calculations [5,16]. However, the geological characteristics of CBM reservoirs in different areas vary significantly, and the results of equivalent conversion will definitely affect the applicability of the model.

Therefore, based on experimental measurement of adsorbed gas and dual pore media, integrated with the theory of equivalent media, appropriate key modeling parameters are selected to construct a rock physical model of CBM reservoirs, and the rationality of the model is verified.

2 Geological setting

The study area is located in the Eastern Ordos Basin, spanning Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, within the boundaries of Xingxian and Linxian (Figure 1a). The Late Carboniferous to Middle Permian in this area underwent a paleogeographic evolution process dominated by marine sedimentation, including surface marine, transitional marine, and fluvial clastic rock sedimentation, during which multiple marine intrusion events occurred [17]. In the Late Paleozoic and Early Carboniferous (Figure 1b), the North China Block ended 150 million years of uplift and erosion, began to sink as a whole, and underwent sedimentation [18]. The sedimentation of the Benxi Formation in the Ordos Basin has the property of filling and leveling, and the sedimentary thickness is mainly controlled by the paleo-topography of the Ordovician weathering crust [19]. Generally, sedimentary strata are thicker in the shallow, concave areas of paleo-topography. As a typical stratigraphic formation formed during the critical period of land-sea transition, the Benxi Formation of the Carboniferous System has a rapid rate of sedimentary facies change and complex lithological combinations [20]. The thickness of the Benxi Formation in the study area gradually thickens from west to east, with a thickness mostly ranging from 10 to 70 m [21].

3 Samples and methods

Coal-bed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) interpretation is collected from 22 wells in Eastern Ordos Basin. A total of 17 coal-bed samples were collected from Wells A, B, C, D, and E for vitrinite reflectance (Ro), maceral composition, and low-field NMR measurement. The plug coal-bed samples were first dried at 110°C for 24 h to remove residual moisture in the samples. After 12 h of vacuum degassing, the samples were saturated with high-purity distilled water at a pressure of 25 MPa for 2 days. After the saturation was completed, the sample was taken out, and the NMR T 2 spectrum was tested after standing in the saturated fluid for 12 h. To reflect the occurrence characteristics of different types of fluids, two groups of parallel plug samples saturated with water were treated with different centrifugation speeds and drying temperatures, and NMR tests were performed after each centrifugation and drying. The centrifugation time of each sample is fixed at 30 min, and the drying time is fixed at 24 h. The NMR test parameters are as follows: the echo interval (TE) is 0.055 ms, the number of echoes is 12,000, the cumulative sampling times (NS) is 64 times, and the waiting time is 4,000 ms. The experimental instrument is the NMRC012V NMR instrument produced by Suzhou Niumag Company, China.

4 Results

4.1 Coal matrix skeleton parameters

4.1.1 Parameter calculation process

Coal quality characteristics are important parameters for characterizing coal rock, mainly including microscopic composition characteristics, industrial composition, and macroscopic characteristics. The vitrinite reflectance of the CBM reservoir in the Eastern Ordos Basin is about 0.9–1.5%, belonging to the middle stage of metamorphism, mainly composed of fat coal, coking coal, and semibright coal. Overall coal rock quality is good. As the coalification process progresses, the various functional group structures and microscopic component properties in coal show a gradually homogenized trend. For the mid-low-rank coal rock skeleton in the study area, it is mainly characterized by coal rock type and ash content (Figure 2).

4.1.2 Ash content

Ash content refers to the solid residue left after coal has been fully burned and all mineral changes have been completed, which is mainly composed of clay and non-combustible mineral residue (Figure 3a). The ash content of the coal reservoirs in the study area is mainly about 10–30%, belonging to a moderate ash content level (Figure 3b and c). The overall structure of the coal body is mainly composed of primary structure, with less fragmentation and good compressibility of the reservoir. Ash content not only has a serious impact on the proportion of organic matter, porosity, and cleat development of coal reservoirs but also has a particularly unfavorable effect on the adsorption of methane by coal, seriously affecting the gas content of CBM reservoirs.

Industrial analysis of ash content data and intersection analysis of lithology sensitivity curves were carried out using core samples from coal reservoirs in the study area. The results show that there is a certain correlation between the ash content of coal reservoirs and density, gamma, and sound waves. Therefore, a multiple curve multiple regression method is used to estimate ash content and further uses the relationship between ash content and other components to predict fixed carbon, volatile matter, and moisture curves (Figure 4).

4.1.3 Macrolithotype of coal-bed

The vitrinite reflectance (Ro) of the Benxi Formation coal reservoir in the study area is mainly distributed around 0.9–1.5%, mainly composed of semi-bright coal and bright coal, belonging to the middle-rank coal. At a moderate degree of metamorphism, the homogeneity of microscopic components in CBM reservoirs is poor, and the distribution range of microscopic component content is wide. The maceral compositions are mainly composed of vitrinite, with a content of about 65–95%. Coal types are mainly composed of bright coal, while macroscopic coal rock types are mainly semibright coal (Figure 5). Quantitative evaluation of coal rock types using the content of vitrinite components. The biggest difference between vitrinite and inertinite is in their hardness and compressive strength, so elastic parameter curves are used for prediction (Figure 6).

4.2 Matrix porosity by equivalent calculation method

Coal reservoirs are a type of dual porosity medium rock layer, which includes both matrix pores and cleat (or crack) pores. The pore network is complex, and the pore size is mainly in the range of micrometers to nanometers [22,23,24]. Whether it is conventional experimental testing or well-logging interpretation, accurate characterization of coal matrix pores and cleat (or crack) pores is highly challenging. NMR logging technology can directly measure the density of hydrogen nuclei in the storage space and is not affected by the rock skeleton. NMR porosity is determined by ascertaining the correlation between NMR signals and porosity [25,26,27]. Subsequently, free fluid porosity and bound fluid porosity can be obtained by measuring again after the pore fluid is discharged through centrifugal testing (Figure 7). Previous research has shown that usually more than 90% of CBM is adsorbed on the surface of matrix pores, with almost no seepage effect, so equivalent elastic parameters cannot be calculated by fluid replacement [5]. Cleat (crack) pores, possessing superior porosity and permeability, constitute the primary pore type in coal reservoirs. The analysis revealed pore size primarily below 100 nm in the study area’s Benxi Formation deep CBM reservoirs, while a minor fraction encompasses mesopores exceeding 100 nm (Figure 8a). The average pore size is 19.6 nm (Figure 8b), and the permeability is less than 0.001 mD. NMR data show a distinct bimodal distribution of the deep CBM reservoirs’ T 2 values within the Benxi Formation, with minimal differences between the two peaks (Figure 9). The minor peak spans 3–25 ms, reflecting bound porosity, and the significant peak spans 26–33 ms, indicating movable porosity. Over 75% of these pores are bound, signifying poor pore connectivity. The bimodal pattern primarily highlights bound porosity, followed by movable pores (Figure 10).

Considering the internal heterogeneity of the CBM reservoirs in this area, the main reason for the high clay pores in the deep CBM reservoirs of the Benxi Formation is, on the one hand, related to the large number of thin-gangue interbeds in the coal intervals. The overall ash content is relatively high, resulting in higher clay pores. The calculation method for clay pores is the minimum T 2 value and the minimum bound pore value, almost all of which are bound fluid pores. In the calculation of skeleton pores, they are classified as bound pores. Due to the lack of standard methods for calculating the porosity of the coal bed, several porosity calculation methods were tested and calibrated with actual test data. The multiple regression methods had the best effect. Overall, the porosity prediction based on multiple regression methods has a high degree of matching with NMR test results, with a consistent relative relationship and trend, and a correlation coefficient of about 70% (Figure 11).

4.3 Total gas content by the equivalent calculation method

The matrix porosity of coal reservoirs is usually less than 10%, and the aspect ratio of matrix pores (i.e., the ratio of matrix pore width to diameter) is used αP usually falls within the range of 0.1–1 (Figure 12), making it difficult to meet the conditions required by Kuster–Toksöz theory [5]. Moreover, in a dynamic adsorption equilibrium state, more than 90% of CBM is adsorbed on the surface of coal matrix pores without any seepage effect, and the equivalent elastic parameters cannot be calculated by fluid replacement.

Figure 12

Approximate description of geometrical characteristics of coal matrix and adsorbed gas [5].

For the calculation of the equivalent elastic modulus of the dry coal matrix skeleton containing matrix pores and adsorbed gas, based on the idea proposed by Liu of using adsorbed gas as a part of coal matrix for equivalent calculation [14], a self-compatible approximation model is used to describe the dry coal matrix skeleton as a mixture of adsorbed gas, matrix pores, and coal matrix phases (Figure 12). The specific content is as follows: matrix pores = adsorbed gas volume + remaining matrix pores. According to the actual situation, the shape of the coal matrix and adsorbed gas is set to spherical. In the calculation process, the adsorbed gas is considered an independent solid phase rather than a fluid. Assuming that the adsorbed gas is uniformly adsorbed on the surface of the matrix pores, it does not affect the aspect ratio of the matrix pores (the red and blue arrows in Figure 3 show the aspect ratio of the matrix pores before and after adsorption). The bulk modulus and density of the adsorbed gas are typical equivalent values measured by Zou et al. at 4 MPa [16], which are 7.5 MPa and 0.5 g/cm3, respectively. For the calculation of the total gas content curve of coal reservoirs, previous studies have mostly used actual sampling data and multisensitivity curve logging interpretation methods to obtain it. This time, typical formulas and multiple regression methods are used for calculation. Total gas content = −2.05745 + 0.00195693 × DEPTH + 0.0121332 × DTS − 0.00723678 × GR − 0.0141831 × DT − 3.54587 × RHOB + 0.117409 × CAL + 0.00166508 × AAD + 0.921259 × log10 (RESD) (Figure 13).

4.4 Pore fluids by the equivalent calculation method

The pore fluid is mainly composed of methane and free water, and the parameters of temperature, pressure, mineralization degree, gas-specific gravity, and gas/oil ratio are calculated by taking the mean value or predicting the curve based on the measured data (Table 1).

5 Discussion

5.1 Rock physics modeling process

Various parameter calculation models for the study area were established, and various parameter curves were predicted. Starting from the classical models of low porosity and cleat (or crack), lithology was developed such as tight sandstone, carbonate rock, and shale searching for suitable framework, cleat (or crack), and fluid prediction models for local coal rocks. Based on the geological characteristics and relevant background of deep CBM reservoirs in the study area, a seismic rock physical model of hydrocarbon reservoirs considering the influence of coal reservoirs was constructed. The specific process is divided into several parts, including background rock matrix construction, pore filling, coal bed coupling, and fluid replacement (Figure 14).

Schematic diagram of rock physical modeling process for deep CBM reservoirs.

First, the Voigt–Reuss–Hill model was utilized to mix background minerals such as synbiotic minerals [28], and epigenetic minerals according to the volume content of each component. This model characterizes the equivalent rock modulus of the mineral matrix by taking the average of equal stress and equal strain. Set the porosity of the coal matrix (including the volume of adsorbed gas), the aspect ratio of the matrix pores, and the shape of the coal matrix particles and adsorbed gas as spheres. Assuming that the adsorbed gas is uniformly adsorbed on the surface of the matrix pores, that is, it does not affect the aspect ratio of the matrix pores; using a self-compatible approximation model to calculate the equivalent longitudinal and transverse wave velocities of the dry skeleton of coal matrix after mixing adsorbed gas, matrix pores, and coal matrix. Set the porosity of cracks and shape them as thin coins. Calculate the density of cracks and add them to the coal matrix dry skeleton using a DEM model [29,30,31]. Calculate the equivalent longitudinal and transverse wave velocities of the coal matrix dry skeleton containing cracks. Finally, the Brown–Korringa anisotropic fluid substitution theory was used to fill the fluid into the cleats (or cracks) [32], and the equivalent longitudinal and transverse wave velocities of the rock physical model of the CBM reservoir were calculated (Table 2).

5.2 Modeling effect evaluation

The key to the accuracy and applicability of seismic rock physics modeling lies in closely following the characteristics of the specific reservoir being studied. The main characteristics of the deep CBM reservoir are adsorbed gas as part of the dry coal skeleton and dual-porosity media. In this study, the specific data of adsorbed gas and dual porosity media are obtained through experimental investigation, rather than being converted through models or formulas as in previous studies. Therefore, the results are more accurate and more conducive to improving the accuracy of the model. Overall, the coal matrix + adsorbed gas + matrix pores + cleat (or crack) pores are used as the dry coal skeleton, and the water + free gas is used as the fluid filling. The anisotropic rock physics modeling approach is used to complete saturated coal rock physics modeling. By comparing the predicted P-wave and S-wave curves with actual measurements, the two trends are basically consistent, with a relative error of less than 1%, indicating that the selection of model parameters is reasonable (Figures 15 and 16).

6 Conclusions

Rock physics modeling is the key to characterizing the mapping relationship between physical properties, fluid parameters, and seismic parameters of deep CBM reservoirs. In the modeling process, key factors such as coal matrix skeleton parameters, matrix porosity, adsorbed gas volume, and pore fluid must be considered. Coal rock type and ash content are the main characteristics of the deep CBM reservoir matrix framework. The matrix porosity is mainly dominated by bound porosity, followed by movable porosity. In the modeling process, focusing on the two special properties of adsorbed gas and dual pores in CBM reservoirs, adsorbed gas is regarded as a solid phase similar to coal matrix, and dual pores are divided into matrix pores and cleat (or crack) pores. The modeling process can be summarized as coal matrix, adsorbed gas, matrix pores, and cleat (or crack) pores forming the dry coal skeleton, filled with water and free gas as fluids, using anisotropic rock physics modeling ideas. After comparing the predicted longitudinal and transverse wave curves with actual measurements, the two trends are basically consistent, with a relative error of less than 1%, indicating that the selection of rock physical model parameters for deep CBM reservoirs is reasonable.
