The coal seam gas recovery in deep reservoirs often meets high temperature.
The change of temperature can greatly influence gas sorption, and couples
heat transfer with coal deformation and gas-flow. This paper modifies the
conventional Langmuir adsorption equation into a non-isothermal adsorption
equation with a set of experimental data. After then, a fully coupled
thermo-hydro-mechanical model of coal deformation, gas-flow and heat transfer
is established. By using a finite element approach of COMSOL multi-physics, a
numerical simulation of coal seam gas recovery from high temperature
reservoir is subsequently implemented. The results show that the gas pressure
and temperature decrease with production time and increase with the distance
from production well, the reservoir permeability decreases with production
time due to the compaction of increasing effective stress to coal fracture
network, the cumulative gas production increases with production time
exponentially whereas the production efficiency decreases negative
exponentially, that the gas production in earlier 10 years accounts for 80%
of the total production in 30 years. Our fully coupled
thermo-hydro-mechanical model can improve the current understanding of coal
seam gas recovery from high temperature reservoirs.
