Why Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Production in Some Basins is Difficult
The changes in the permeability of coal-bed reservoirs with methane, as associated with gas depletion, are the consequence of two opposing processes, namely geomechanical compaction that narrows down fractures, and matrix shrinkage, which, in turn, widens fractures. Many previous studies on the effe...
