Experimental studies on CO2flow behaviour in coal are generally performed on meso-scale specimens (less than 100 mm in length), the results are not applicable at a larger scale. In this study, CO2flow behaviours were experimentally tested on macro-scale reconstituted high rank coal samples (203 mm in diameter and 1 m in length). The permeability values, pressure development profiles, volumetric strains of the sample and the CO2storage characteristics were recorded and compared to interpret the results. It was observed that CO2permeability reduces with injection pressure, especially for supercritical CO2injections but lower reduction rates were observed at higher CO2injection pressures. With the increase of depth, CO2permeability reduces and this reduction is greater for higher injection pressures. Maintaining a relatively high CO2injection pressure creates greater pressure development in coal, and the effective zone of influence (areas where the CO2pressure may remain at least 90% of the injection pressure) decreases with depth but increases with injection pressure to some extent. CO2storage capacity reduces with depth, and the CO2injection rate is greater for lower injection pressures during early stages of CO2injection. However, the ultimate CO2storage capacity increases with CO2injection pressure for each injection.
