چکیده
|
Creating new fracture networks in coal seams with natural fractures through hydraulic fracturing techniques is an effective method for exploiting coalbed methane. in this paper, a continuumdiscontinuum element method (cdem) is developed for simulating and assessing hydraulic fracture propagation in coal seams. an elastic-damage-fracture model is proposed for capturing the deformation and cracking processes of fractured coal. a stress-fracture percolation relation is implemented to simulate the hydro-mechanical coupling processes. the influence of x-direction angles, mechanical strengths, distances and lengths of natural fractures are analyzed in detail. the results are potentially useful to optimize the fracturing design.
