Organic petrology developed as coal petrology at the beginning of the 20th century
dedicated mainly to the study of coals because of their utilization in industry. Coal petrology …

This third edition of Elements of Petroleum Geology is completely updated and revised to
reflect the vast changes in the years since publication of the First Edition. This book is a …

The influence of coal composition and rank on coalbed methane reservoir capacity, gas
content and gas saturation have been investigated for a series of Australian, Canadian and …

The effect of coal composition, particularly the organic fraction, upon gas sorption has been
investigated for Bowen Basin and Sydney Basin, Australia coals. Maceral composition …

The movement of petroleum from organic-rich source beds to potential carrier beds is the net
result of two processes: expulsion—the release of generated petroleum from kerogen within …

The majority of research reported on methane adsorption characteristics of coal seams has
focused on vitrinite-rich coals. However, western Canadian coals are more inertinite-rich …

ABSTRACT A detailed experimental study has been made of the adsorption of methane,
nitrtheir binary mixtures, on a wet Fruitland coal at 115° F. Mixture measurements were …

At present, coalbed methane is being recovered by means of reservoir pressure depletion.
While this method is simple and effective, it is not efficient. Reduction in reservoir pressure …

Details of methane sorption properties of some Indian coals ranging in rank from high-
volatile bituminous C (0.62% Ro max) to medium-volatile bituminous coal (1.46% Ro max) …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a brief review of major characteristics of reservoir
structures and lithologies serving as a guide to reservoir selection for CO 2 disposal. The …
