Mechanical Behavior and Permeability Evolution of Reconstituted Coal Samples under Various Unloading Confining Pressures—Implications for Wellbore Stability Analysis

Mechanical Behavior and Permeability Evolution of Reconstituted Coal Samples under Various Unloading Confining Pressures—Implications for Wellbore Stability Analysis

Low pressure, low permeability, and low saturation of Chinese coal-bed methane (CBM) reservoirs make underbalanced drilling (UBD) widely used for mining CBM in China. In this study, mechanical behavior and permeability of coal rock were investigated under different degrees of unloading confining pre...
