Geological adaptability of deep CBM fractured horizontal well in SLN block

The buried depth of the main coal beds in SLN Block is more than 1,500 m, and the gas content of the coal beds is high. However, the coal beds are generally in a high geostress environment, the permeability of the coal beds is generally low, and the development effect of conventional fractured straight wells is poor. Fractured horizontal well is an important technical means to improve the development effect of low permeability coalbed methane, but the investment cost is high. To reduce the investment risk of fractured horizontal wells, it is necessary to find out the gas production capacity and main control factors of the fractured horizontal wells, and determine the area suitable for the development of fractured horizontal wells. In the area with permeability higher than 0.28 md and gas content higher than 12.8 m 3 /t, the daily gas production capacity of fractured horizontal well is 16,450–21500 m 3 /d, and the development effect is good. The research results are of great significance to quickly evaluate the adaptability of fractured horizontal wells.
