초록 ▼

Evaporite mineral solution mining process and apparatus comprising the steps of undercutting a bed or massive deposit by in-air jetting with an aqueous solution followed by solution mining of the mineral above the undercut with monitoring and control to cease the solution mining when the roof rock is adequately exposed to maintain a stable roof and stable pillar support. The resulting cavity exhibits steeply angled, nearly vertical sidewalls, flared upwardly and outwardly only 10°to 15°from the vertical plane normal to the edges of the undercut as compared to 45°typical for morning glory cavities. A first plan vertical production well is drilled with a sump provided substantially adjacent to the floor rock. A second horizontal well is developed up dip to intersect and communicate with the production well. The air jet tool mechanism provides horizontal, slightly upwardly inclined jets (0°-15°) which cut the mineral laterally on both sides of the tool which is gradually withdrawn up dip as the undercut progresses. The tool also includes and EMR ranging system, preferably a radar system, and a MWD unit to transmit data to the surface. This permits undercut width control to develop a substantially rectangular undercut profile. The subsequent controlled solution mining provides a substantially rectangular room throughout the entire horizontal length which provides improved mineral recovery, steeply angled pillar wall profiles controlled roof span and increased dissolution rate. The method and apparatus is applicable to beds having dips from 0°-90°and multiple beds with or without partings.

A method of mining evaporite minerals comprising in operative combination the steps of: a) developing a first, production well into an evaporite mineral formation, which well includes a sump for withdrawal of evaporite mineral in solution and evaporite mineral fines; b) developing a second, horizontal well into said formation, said horizontal well comprising a drill bore having an axis, which bore is in communication with said production well; c) providing an aqueous cutting solution to said horizontal well; d) undercutting said formation with at least one in-air jet of said cutting solution to form an undercut cavity having a wide, vertically thin profile viewed in elevation along the axis of the horizontal well bore; e) collecting evaporite mineral and fines solution and pumping at least a portion thereof out of said formation at a sufficient rate to prevent filling of the undercut with solution to maintain said jetting in air; f) progressively withdrawing said undercut axially in said horizontal well away from said production well to progressively undercut said formation laterally with respect to the axis of said horizontal well bore; and g) solution mining evaporite mineral above said undercut to form a cavity from removed evaporite mineral. A jet undercutting tool for in-air jet undercutting of evaporite minerals comprising in operative combination: a) a cylindrical housing having a first, tip end and an axially spaced inlet end, said inlet end being adapted to be coupled to a horizontal well pipe string supplying a liquid undercutting solution to said tool; b) at least one non-axially rotatable jet assembly disposed substantially along the mid-line of said jetting tool including a nozzle for directing high pressure fluid against evaporite mineral formation at an angle in the range of from about 90°transverse to the axis of said tool to about 60°forward of transverse the axis of said tool, and being inclinable up from the horizontal in the range of from about 0°to about 15°, said jets being disposed medial of said tip and said inlet end; c) at least one jet fluid conduit disposed in said housing for communicating solution from said horizontal well string to said jet assembly; d) means for ranging by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) the depth of undercutting; e) means for providing power to said EMR ranging unit disposed in said tool; and f) means for selectively controlling flow of cutting fluid to said jets.
