The considerable variations in coalbed methane (CBM) production in different low-rank
basins have attracted widespread attention. Moreover, the occurrence of the “first …

Hydraulic fractures can enhance well productivity from stress-sensitive naturally fractured
reservoirs, such as coalbed methane or coal seam gas (CSG) reservoirs. Graded proppant …

Water hammer is oscillatory pressure behavior in a wellbore resulting from the inertial effect
of flowing fluid being subjected to an abrupt change in velocity. It is commonly observed at …

It has often been reported that the peak production of a well drilled in tight formations is
highly dependent on the fracture‐contact area. However, at present, there is no efficient …

Horizontal wells have become commonplace and have increased the effectiveness of
coalbed methane or coal seam gas (CSG) reservoir drainage in Australia. To date, there …

Coals are heterogeneous and the zones of interest for gas production (high fracture density)
are often friable. 3D printed (3DP) rocks can create a repeatable analogue by minimizing …

The vertical growth of hydraulic fractures in layered formations has been a topic of interest
amongst researchers because of its critical influence on well performance. The analytical …

In coal-seam-gas (CSG) fields, where single wells tap multiple seams, it is likely that some of
the individual seams hardly contribute to gas recovery. This study aims to examine the …

Fracture growth in layered formations with depth-dependent properties has been a topic of
interest amongst researchers because of its critical influence on well performance. This …

Australia has over two decades of successful coal seam gas (CSG, coalbed methane or
CBM) developments but has failed to develop low permeability, highly compartmentalized …
