A numerical simulation study of injecting CO2 into coal bed (enhanced coal bed methane) to reduce GHG emission

Numerical Simulation Study on Coal Bed Methane Development

In order to find out the advantages and disadvantages of various development methods of coal bed gas, the experimental block provided by the field is studied, the component calculation model is established by CMG numerical simulation software on the basis of fine geologic modeling. Four development schemes are designed which are depleted development, development of hydraulic fracturing, develop...

A Workable Bed of Coal in Nebraska.

Determination and assessment of coal bed methane potential using rock engineering systems

The presence of methane in coal mines is one of the major problems in underground coal mines. Every year, in underground coal mines, a lot of casualties due to outbursts and explosions of methane gas is occurring. Existence of this gas in the mines not only creates a difficult and dangerous situation for work but also makes it more expensive. The release of this gas to the air causes a further ...

Methane-producing microbial community in a coal bed of the Illinois basin.

A series of molecular and geochemical studies were performed to study microbial, coal bed methane formation in the eastern Illinois Basin. Results suggest that organic matter is biodegraded to simple molecules, such as H(2) and CO(2), which fuel methanogenesis and the generation of large coal bed methane reserves. Small-subunit rRNA analysis of both the in situ microbial community and highly pu...

Determination of Coal Seams Depth of Erosion with Respect to the Remnants of a Key Bed in Kerman Coal Field, Iran

As a tool for exploration of concealed coal seams by modern techniques, determination of the depth of erosion of coal seams with reference to the surface of angular unconformity underlying the remnants of a key bed is conducted for the first time in coal mines of Kerman region. The angular unconformity surface (the initial surface exposure of coal seams) separates the coal seams of Jurassic age...
