The commercial extraction of methane from coal beds is now well established in a number of
countries throughout the world, including the USA, Australia, China, India and Canada …

Over the past decade, the exploration and development of deep coalbed methane (CBM)
resources in China have attracted significant attention for their immense potential. Typically …

Tectonic coal, formed after the intact coal being subjected to long-term intense squeezing,
shearing and deformation, is characterised by brittle or ductile damaged coal body, with the …

Carbon dioxide (CO2)-enhanced coalbed methane recovery (CO2-ECBM) is a critical way to
increase methane production and reduce greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) emissions. As …

As key flow properties for coalbed methane production, greenhouse gas reduction through
CO 2 storage in coal and gas drainage to improve mining safety, knowledge of gas diffusion …

A knowledge of permeability evolution with stress is important for the enhancement of
coalbed methane production. In this study, a series of compaction-permeability tests with in …

We explore the fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) response of CO 2
enhanced CBM recovery (CO 2-ECBM) considering the coupling relationships of …

Unconventional gas reservoirs, including coalbed methane (CBM), tight gas (TG) and shale
gas (SG), have become a significant source of hydrocarbon supply in North America, and …

Electrical transport properties of saturated porous media, such as soils, rocks and fractured
networks, typically composed of a non-conductive solid matrix and a conductive brine in the …

Unconventional natural gas has become an important source of energy. However, the
development of such resources has been challenging as these reservoirs are characterised …
