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 …

This article reviews the mechanisms of shale gas storage and discusses the major risks or
uncertainties for shale gas exploration in China. At a given temperature and pressure, the …

Although research attentions for CO 2 injection in gas-bearing reservoirs have been drawn
to CO 2 sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CS-EGR), the microscopic competitive …

A series of methane (CH4) adsorption experiments on bulk organic rich shales and their
isolated kerogens were conducted at 35° C, 50° C and 65° C and CH4 pressure of up to …

In this study a series of CH4 adsorption experiments on clay-rich rocks were conducted at
35° C, 50° C and 65° C and at CH4 pressure up to 15MPa under dry conditions. The clay …

To study the swelling/shrinkage strain effects of different phases of CO 2 when injected into
anthracite and the influence that has on the dynamic evolution of coal permeability, an …

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 …

Shale gas is becoming an increasingly important energy resource. In this study, the
adsorption of methane on a dry, organic-rich Alum shale sample was studied at pressures …

There is a significant diversity in the global coal basins in terms of their rank, age, geological
features and fracturing characteristics. A section of such coal basins is often not …

As a consequence of the use of obsolete coal and oil and manufacturing techniques,
pollution levels are rising, posing a significant threat to the environment and public health …
