Abstract:Coalbed methane wells are often developed using well network layout, and different hydraulic fracturing sequences will cause different stress interference effects. In order to identify the stress interference effects between coalbed methane wells under different hydraulic fracturing sequences, this work studied 15 wells in three groups of coalbed methane well networks in the Shizhuangnan block of Qinshui Basin, and utilized ABAQUS finite element simulation software to simulate the stress distribution characteristics and interference effects under three hydraulic fracturing sequences (first surrounding then center, diagonal, first center then surrounding) in the coalbed methane well networks. Corresponding hydraulic fracturing sequence suggestions were proposed. The results show that when the construction displacement is 6.00~8.00 m/min and the liquid volume is 430.00~580.00 m', (1) when fracturing around first, then around the center, diagonally, and then around the center, different distances from the center wells, diagonal wells, and surrounding wells can be divided into stress release zone, concentration zone, and original stress zone in sequence. When the surrounding area is first followed by the center, the range of the three zones of the central wells is ≤15.00 m, 15.00~140.00 m, and >140.00 m, respectively. During diagonal fracturing, the range of the three zones of the diagonal well is≤60.00 m, 60.00~150.00 m, and >150.00 m, respectively. When fracturing in the middle, the range of the three zones around the well is≤60.00 m, 60.00~ 144.00 m, and > 144.00 m, respectively. The coalbed methane well network is arranged using the four point method, with well spacing exceeding 300.00 m, which can effectively avoid stress interference between coalbed methane wells, and reduce the construction difficulty during coal seam well fracturing.
