Porosity plays a clearly important role in geology. It controls fluid storage in aquifers, oil and
gas fields and geothermal systems, and the extent and connectivity of the pore structure …

This article reviews the state of research on sorption of gases (CO2, CH4) and water on coal
for primary recovery of coalbed methane (CBM), secondary recovery by an enhancement …

Nanopore structure greatly affects gas adsorption and transport in shales. Such structures in
shale samples from the Lower Cambrian strata of the Sichuan Basin of China have been …

The geological controls on methane sorption capacity for the Lower Cretaceous
Buckinghorse Formation and equivalent strata in northeastern British Columbia, Canada …

The marine black shale formations on the Upper Yangtze Platform (UYP), South China are
exploration targets for shale gas. Here, we report on the methane sorption capacity of …

Numerical modelling of the processes of CO2 storage in coal and enhanced coalbed
methane (ECBM) production requires information on the kinetics of adsorption and …

Methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) sorption isotherms have been measured on an
Australian subbituminous, a German high-volatile bituminous and a German anthracite coal …

To better understand the characteristics of seepage-pores (pore radius larger than 100
nanometers) and their influence on the permeability of coals, we have conducted fractal …

Coal pores are the locations of coalbed methane occurrence and enrichment and the main
storage space targeted in CO2 sequestration. The systematic investigation of the coal pore …

To get deep insight into the variability and heterogeneity of pore size distributions (PSDs) in
different tectonically deformed coals (TDCs)(mean maximum vitrinite reflectance R o, max …
