Coal is known as a dual-porosity media composed of cleat and matrix pore. Methane can be
stored in the cleats or adsorbed on the inner surface of matrix pore. While fluid mobility is …

Biogenic coalbed methane (BCBM) reservoirs aim to produce methane from in situ coal
deposits following microbial conversion of coal. Success of BCBM reservoirs requires …

Gas permeability in coal plays a critical role in predicting coalbed methane (CBM)
production. The permeability evolution induced by gas depletion in low-permeability coal is …

Studies completed recently have shown that desorption of methane results in a change in
the matrix volume of coal thus altering the permeability of, and production rates from …

Experimental data obtained for the strain response of coal to helium and methane flooding,
pre-and post-bioconversion, was used to evaluate the reservoir-scale implications of coal …

Permeability, a key reservoir quality indicator, is pivotal for modelling and forecasting the
dynamic behavior of reservoirs. It is also a key input parameter for fracturing simulators …

The variation in the cleat permeability of coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs is attributed
primarily to two cardinal processes, with opposing effects. Increase in effective stresses with …

I owe my gratitude to all the individuals who assisted and guided me in making this research
paper possible, and because of whom I will cherish my graduate experience forever. The …

Application of uniaxial strain boundary condition as stress path to measure mechanical and
petrophysical properties is critical in estimation of reservoir compaction/subsidence …

Increased world-wide interest in reducing the carbon-footprint of human activities has driven
the coal-fueled energy industry to transition to a natural gas fueled future. Coupled with the …
