煤层气
外观
煤层气(英语:coalbed methane)是指被吸附在煤层中的甲烷。因其不含硫化氢而被称为“甜气” [1] 。这种气体在地下煤矿开采中时,会溢出造成安全风险。近几十年来,从煤层中提取的天然气已成为美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和其他国家的重要能源[2][3]。
煤层气与典型的砂岩或其他常规气藏不同,因为煤层气甲烷是吸附在煤层孔隙和裂缝中 [4]。煤层气几乎不含丙烷或丁烷等重碳氢化合物,而且不含天然气凝析油。煤层气是由干酪根和其他有机质的热裂解成熟而形成的[5] [6]。煤层气中所含的气体主要是甲烷和微量的乙烷、氮气、二氧化碳和少量其他气体。
煤层气储层被认为是双孔隙储层。其中天然裂缝是负责流动而基质的孔隙度是负责储气[5] 。
