Abstract:The pulsating hydro-fracturing (PHF) of coal beds is a technology based on conventional hydraulic fracturing and pulsating injection. But currently, the study of the features of stress disturbance caused by PHF is still not sufficient. Based on the continuum mechanics, this paper presents a stress-response numerical model to simulate the formation stress disturbance during PHF by applying the schemes of staggered-grid finite difference.
We investigated the stress distribution, the effective stress disturbance zone, and the influence of different formation mechanic parameters on stress distribution during PHF, and found several unique behaviors. First, the stress disturbance caused by PHF is characterized as an extensively affected scope and regional stress concentration, which will generate the focusing effect. Second, the shear stress will be generated to cause tensile damage of coal rock during PHF, which can form a much larger effective stress disturbance zone than what the quasi-static fracturing forms. Third, compressibility can be used to create a larger effective stress disturbance and damage zone, which will promote the PHF effect. These research results will provide guidance for the study of stimulation mechanics on PHF in coal seam.
