Influence of Temperature on Long-Flame Coal Characteristics Based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance T1–T2 Spectra

Coalbed methane (CBM) can be recovered more effectively through heat injection mining. The slippage effect in coal becomes more significant as CBM is exploited, essential for maintaining consistent production of CBM wells. By “slippage effect,” we mean that gas molecules exhibiting non–zero velocity near the wall surface of coal pores, leading to higher gas permeability than liquid permeability. To explore the slippage effect and its control mechanism during heat injection mining, methane seepage experiments with constant effective stress were conducted under five different temperatures and seven pore pressures. An analysis was conducted on the mechanisms by which pore pressure and temperature affect gas slippage effect. Furthermore, the correlation between coal pore structure and the gas slippage effect was revealed using the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The results appear that, first, as pore pressure increases, the slippage effect is suppressed due to the influence of the average molecular free path, despite the positive impact of adsorption–induced matrix expansion. Second, as temperature rises, the average molecular free path and thermal expansion have a positive impact on gas slippage, while matrix shrinkage caused by desorption has a negative impact. The positive impact is stronger, resulting in a continuous enhancement of the slippage effect. Finally, a new slippage factor calculation based on NMR T2 distribution of micropores and transitional pores (<100 nm, T2 < 8.33 ms) was provided, and the method was verified by slippage factor fitted by permeability experimental data. The heat injection mining of CBM can be theoretically guided by the research results.
