History and development direction of iterative upgrading of deep coalbed methane reservoir reconstruction technology：Taking the Daji Block in the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin... by Fengyin XU, Huaibin ZHEN, Shuguang LI, Feng WANG, Lei ZHANG, Yubin WANG, Weichu YU, Weiping ZHU, Borui XU, Yun YANG, Haifeng ZHAO, Kunsen BAI

“…Practical application of finely tailored fracturing designs based on geological characteristics has yielded remarkable results.However, the paper identifies five key challenges and areas for improvement in deep coal reservoir stimulation: High water consumption and difficulties in managing flowback fluids during ultra-large-scale fracturing; The need for breakthroughs in intelligent fracturing technologies; Immaturity of collaborative fracturing methods; The urgent requirement to establish fracturing technology systems for deep, medium-to-low-rank coal seams; Incomplete functionality of fracturing fluids.To address these challenges, six development directions are proposed:① Advancing water-reducing fracturing techniques; ② Conducting research on fishbone horizontal wells combined with matrix acidizing for large-scale water-reduction and production enhancement; ③ Expanding the application of artificial intelligence in intelligent fracturing and post-fracturing evaluation; ④ Developing and implementing collaborative fracturing techniques to optimize well-to-fracture network integration; ⑤ Strengthening research and development and application of stimulation technologies for deep, medium-to-low-rank coal reservoirs; ⑥ Innovating new fracturing materials to further reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance recovery rates for deep CBM.…”
