Abstract
The prediction and development of three gases, mainly coalbed methane, shale gas, and tight sandstone gas, in the Huainan coal measures of China, has been the focus of local coal mines. However, due to the overlapping and coexisting characteristics of the three gas reservoirs in Huainan coal measure strata, it is challenging to develop the three gas. The coal mine has been creating a single pool for a long time, resulting in the severe waste of other gas resources in developing the gas-bearing resources in the coal measure strata. The gas-containing reservoir is predicted based on geological, seismic, and logging in Huainan Mining. In addition, determining the excellent area for reference for the development of three gas resources. First, using logging data, mathematical−statistical methods are used to analyze the physical parameters of gas-bearing reservoirs in multi-layered stacked coal seams. Then, based on the theory of prestack seismic inversion, parameters, such as the impedance of P-wave, the ratio of P-wave velocity and S-wave, Lamé constant, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio and lithological distribution, are obtained for the whole area. The gas-bearing information of the reservoir is received by the statistics and equation of the parameter intersection diagram and is closely related to exploration and development. Finally, the paper synthetically predicts the most favorable area of the gas-bearing reservoir in the study area. The prediction results are compared with the actual results of coalbed methane content in the existing extraction wells, proving that the method is feasible and can provide the basis for the deployment and development of the well location.
