Exploitation of coalbed methane (CBM) has dual advantages of not only providing
alternative clean-energy but also effectively reducing the proneness for gas outbursts. CBM …

Abstract Knowledge of the behavior of highly compacted expansive clays, as an engineered
barrier, in disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) systems to prevent the pollution due to …

Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is an important means to improve the permeability of coal reservoirs.
The LN2 soaking method has a wide range of application prospects. However, not enough …

Continental shale gas enrichment is significantly influenced by pore structure, yet research
on this topic remains limited compared to marine shale. This study investigates the complex …

It is important to understand the disaster-causing mechanism of dried water-immersed coal
by investigating the influence of water immersion on the coal pore structure. In this study, low …

Clay minerals and organic matter are commonly developed in shale sediments, and have an
important influence on the pore structure and pore complexity of shale reservoirs. However …

Coal pores not only serve as the storage space for coalbed methane but also provide
channels for gas migration. The accurate characterization of coal pore structures is of …

As an alternative and safe method for coal reservoir stimulation, liquid CO 2 phase change
fracturing (LCPCF) technology has large potential for enhancing coalbed methane drainage …

The significance of pore structure and fractal characteristics is important for understanding
untapped Coalbed Methane (CBM) exploration. In this study, these features of low rank coal …

A reasonable degassing temperature setting is necessary for carrying out low-temperature
