As an emerging waterless fracturing technology, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2)
fracturing can reduce reservoir damage and dependence on water resources, and can also …

In continuous formations, the rock properties and the state of in situ stresses control the
propagation direction of an induced hydraulic fracture (HF) and its geometry. The present …

As a clean energy resource, coalbed methane (CBM) has drawn worldwide attention.
However, the CBM reservoir has strong adsorption capacity and low permeability and thus …

Low gas permeability of coal seams is a key factor restricting effective prevention and control
of gas disasters and high-efficient exploitation of gas resources. Hydraulic slotting …

To simulate the propagation law of hydraulic fractures in deep Coal Bed Methane (CBM)
reservoirs in Qin-shui basin, a 3D numerical model is established using a continuous …

Realized by the conversion of the electromagnetic energy into thermal energy, microwave
heating can be a sound method to enhance coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. Although the …

Hydraulic fracturing is commonly used to enhance the hydraulic conductivity of geothermal,
oil, and gas reservoirs, particularly those situated in enclosed and unconventional …

The rock masses, especially with existing discontinuous joints, are prone to shear failure
when subjected to constant changing stress in the direction perpendicular to the free face …

Well stimulation methods such as hydraulic fracturing are often utilized in order to increase
the productivity index and permeability of the reservoir's rock. On the other hand, explosion …
