There are abundant high-rank coalbed methane resources in China,and the high-efficiency development is of great energy,security,and ecological significances.Taking the development practice of high-rank coalbed methane in southern Qinshui Basin as an example,five main problems and challenges in the early development process are systematically analyzed:(1)A lack of advanced theory for the development of high-rank coalbed methane;(2)Low accuracy of favorable area selection;(3)Insufficient adaptability of reservoir reconstruction technology;(4)Low efficiency and poor benefit of drainage-production control regime;(5)"Three difficulties"and"three highs"of the gathering and transportation system.PetroChina Huabei Oilfield Company has adhered to problem-oriented and target-oriented approach and integrated indoor research and field practice,forming a new concept and key technologies for the high-efficiency development of high-rank coalbed methane,which include a drainage development concept,and a development mode of single-lateral horizontal well casing+multi-stage fracturing;The technology for optimal selection of high-yield favorable areas has been researched,achieving the transformation from large-area overall production capacity construction to precise construction mode in the favorable area;The fracturing and reservoir stimulation technology for coalbed methane has been improved and updated,which supports to form multi-level effective fracture network;The optimal,fast and high-efficiency drainage-production control technology has been innovated;The low-pressure ring surface gathering and transportation technology has been developed to achieve high benefits.The field practice shows that the success rate of new constructed production capacity has increased from 37%to higher than 84%,the average daily gas production of a single well has increased by 1.6 times,the time reaching target production has decreased by more than 20%,and the cost of surface construction investment for new projects has reduced by 20%.In addition,the coalbed methane production breakthrough has been achieved in all types of reservoirs in Qinshui Basin,with an annual production capacity of 21×108m3 in coalbed methane field in the southern Qinshui Basin,which is it the largest coalbed methane field in China,greatly boosting the strategic development of coalbed methane.
