Mine-drainage water from coal mines of Kerman region,Iran

Two types of mine-drainage water were recognized in Kerman coalfield, namely neutral to alkaline and acid (AMD). Both types contain a high level of trace-metal concentrations with a higher level in AMD. Trace metals from the coal-mine waters of Kerman coalfield are mainly present as adsorption on Fe and Mn oxide and hydroxide particles, and to a lesser extent as sulfate, simple metal ions and as metal sorption on clay particles and hydrous aluminum oxides.

Constraining the hydrocarbon expulsion history of the coals in Qinshui Basin, North China, from the analysis of fluid inclusions

From the comprehensive study on the homogenization temperatures and the occurrence of fluid inclusions in the framework minerals of the strata between or above the Carboniferous–Permian coals in the Qinshui basin, Shanxi, three stages are predicted of hydrocarbon expulsion from the coals. Combined with the known history of basin evolution, it is deduced that the expulsion of hydrocarbons happened during the J₁ (210–180 Ma), the early K₁ (150–130 Ma) and K₂E₁ (110–60 Ma). In the early stage, the coals produced and discharged coal-generated oils. The average GOI value of four sandstone samples is relatively high, as they have been exposed to high paleo-oil saturation in the strata between or above the coals. The biomarker compositions of oil-bearing fluid inclusions are similar to those of extracts from the coals, and so it is concluded that those oils were derived from the same family of the coals.     

Electrical Resistivity Imaging technique to delineate coal seam barrier thickness and demarcate water filled voids

Exploration and exploitation of coal seams is one of the major resources for the energy sector in any country but at the same time water filled voids/water logged areas in the old workings of these seams are very critical problems for the coal mining industry. In such situations, disasters like inundation, landslides, collapsing of the old seams may occur. In this regard, it is necessary to find out the water saturated/water filled voids and zones in the mining areas. Since no established technique is available to find such zones, an experimental study using Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) has been carried out in one of the coal mining areas near Dhanbad, to find out the feasibility of finding the barrier thickness and the water logged area in underground coal mines. The area under study forms part of Jharia coalfield in Dhanbad district, Jharkhand state. The coal bearing rocks of Barakar Formation of Lower Permian age (Gondwana period) occur in the area under a thin cover (10 m to15 m) of soil and or alluvium. Coal bearing Barakar Formations consist mainly of sandstone of varying grain size, intercalation of shale and sandstone, grey and carbonaceous-shale and coal seams. Since the water saturation reduces the resistivity of a formation to a large extent, water filled voids and old coal workings are expected to have significant resistivity contrast with the surrounding host rock. Hence, ERI technique was applied in such an environment as this technique uses high-density data acquisition both laterally and vertically by using multiple number of electrodes. Along with ERI, mise-à-la-masse (also called charged body) technique was also employed at one of the promising sites to find out the connectivity of water logged areas and also detection of these old workings from the surface measurements was analyzed. The interpreted 2D resistivity sections have clearly indicated the water bearing zone(s) along the profile which was well confirmed with the existing water level in the nearby borewells. On the other hand, this technique did not identify the size of the coal pillar and gallery (air filled voids), which might be due to the small size of the voids (i.e. about 2 m × 2 m) below a depth of 15m and more but have indicated altogether as a high resistive zone ranging from 600–1000 Ohm-m.

论同沉积、继承性控煤构造--禹州煤田虎头山断层

聚煤盆地内的同沉积断层,对煤系的厚度、岩相、含煤性等均具有明显的控制作用,而这种断层的聚煤期后继承活动,不仅使之成为地质自然边界,而且直接影响到矿区规划和煤炭生产。近期研究表明,禹州煤田虎头山断层是一个同沉积、继承性大型控煤构造,它在聚煤期就已活动,具聚煤期同沉积构造性质,主要证据有岩性、沉积厚度、聚煤作用、地层断距、断裂带近旁的不协调沉积现象以及趋势面分析结果等;聚煤期后该断层又发生了继承性活动,主要表现在基岩错断、地层缺失、对地貌及新生界沉积的控制和改造、断层旁侧次级构造发育、煤层露头遭受牵引、断裂破碎带特征等。虎头山断层这一重要特征的发现,对指导煤矿建井开采、深入探讨禹州煤田煤厚变化、地质构造乃至华北板块的构造演化,均具有重要的理论意义和实际价值。

Prediction Model of Coal Reservoir Pressure and its Implication for the Law of Coal Reservoir Depressurization

The main methods of coalbed methane(CBM) development are drainage and depressurization, and a precise prediction of coal reservoir pressure is thus crucial for the evaluation of reservoir potentials and the formulation of reasonable development plans. This work established a new reservoir pressure prediction model based on the material balance equation(MBE) of coal reservoir, which considers the self-regulating effects of coal reservoirs and the dynamic change of equivalent drainage area(EDA). According to the proposed model, the reservoir pressure can be predicted based on reservoir condition data and the actual production data of a single well. Compared with traditional reservoir pressure prediction models which regard EDA as a fixed value, the proposed model can better predict the average pressure of reservoirs. Moreover, orthogonal experiments were designed to evaluate the sensitivity of reservoir parameters on the reservoir pressure prediction results of this proposed model. The results show that the saturation of irreducible water is the most sensitive parameter, followed by Langmuir volume and reservoir porosity, and Langmuir pressure is the least sensitive parameter. In addition, the pressure drop of reservoirs is negatively correlated with the saturation of irreducible water and the Langmuir volume, while it is positively correlated with porosity. This work analyzed the reservoir pressure drop characteristics of the CBM wells in the Shizhuangnan Block of the Qinshui Basin, and the results show that the CBM reservoir depressurization can be divided into three types, i.e., rapidly drop type, medium-term stability type, and slowly drop type. The drainage features of wells were reasonably interpreted based on the comprehensive analysis of the reservoir depressurization type; the latter was coupled to the corresponding permeability dynamic change characteristics, eventually proving the applicability of the proposed model.

扬子地台西北缘前陆逆冲带(即龙门山逆冲带)的形成和演化控制着扬子地台内部及其西北缘煤炭资源的聚积和赋存。它可分为根带、中带、锋带三部分。根带无煤聚积,工业煤炭资源赋存在中带,锋带的煤系埋藏过深。前陆逆冲带内的煤田构造变形是适应前陆逆冲挤压应力作用的结果,以发育有冲断叠瓦扇、双冲构造、平行褶皱、斜歪褶皱、飞来峰、逆冲岩席、断夹块等构造样式为特征。前陆逆冲带的形成是特提斯构造域长期演化、沿三条缝合带发生三次碰撞的结果。
