Coal fines can substantially influence coal seam gas reservoir permeability, thus impeding
the flow of gas in coal microstructure. The coal fines generation and migration are influenced …

The evolution of coal permeability is very complex under the influence of coupled multiple
processes. This is the primary motivation why numerous coal permeability models have …

In subterranean coal seam gas (CSG) reservoirs, massive amounts of small-sized coal fines
are released during the production and development stages, especially during hydraulic …

Coal seam gas (CSG), also known as coalbed methane (CBM), is an important source of
gas supply to the liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporting facilities in eastern Australia and to …

Field observations have shown that the concentration of fines produced during the early two-
phase flow stage in coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs is much higher than single-phase …

Hydraulic fracturing is the main stimulation technique that enables the economic production
of coalbed methane reservoirs. However, massive invasion and retention of coal fines in …

Coal seam gas drainage has manifold benefits including ensuring mining safety and
efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating clean gas resource. Gas …

Both fines migration and creep can damage coal permeability during coal seam gas
production. This study investigates the individual and coupled effect of fines migration and …

Hydraulic fracturing is an effective approach to improve the productivity of coalbed methane
(CBM) reservoirs. However, during hydraulic fracturing and CBM production, massive coal …

Proppants are injected with the fracturing fluid to keep the hydraulic fractures open.
However, deposition of coal fines in the void spaces between proppants significantly …
