Aquifers always pose a potential complication in gas extraction because recharge of the coal seam must be prevented or it will limit production. Aquifers may also lead to problems because of the emotive political nature of any discussions relating to gas production in proximity to them. Variable Permeability (spatially)

view moreABSTRACT. Coal reservoirs especially deep unminable coal reservoirs, are viable geological target formations for CO 2 storage to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. An advantage of this process is that a large amount of CO 2 can be stored at relatively low pressure, thereby reducing the cost of pumping and injection. Other advantages include the use of existing well …
view moreThe #2 coal seam of the Shanxi Group and the #15 coal seam of the Taiyuan Group in this mining area are recoverable coal seams. The good field is generally an anticline structure with a gentle dip angle between 4° and 14°. The thickness of #15 coal is 0.75 m~3.80 m, with an average of 2.45 m. It is a medium-thick coal seam.
view more1. Introduction. Coal seam gas (CSG), sometimes refers to coalbed methane (CBM), is a clean energy resource which is generated during the coalification process [1,2].Most of the CSG is stored in the coal seams in an adsorption phase state [3,4].To improve the gas recovery, other gases are injected into the coal seam to promote the recovery rate and ratio.
