Coal seam gas: Experimental and theoretical developments

该项目旨在减少与煤层气行业相关的不确定性和风险-控制水生产和优化甲烷生产。了解煤层中的多物理是应对这一挑战的必要条件。该项目将探索裂缝中的两相流、吸附和扩散机制、应力依赖性以及煤层中这些过程的复杂耦合。预计这将提高对煤层中流体输运的认识，并提高安全有效地开采这一资源的能力。

This project aims to reduce the uncertainty and risk associated with the coal seam gas industry – control water production and optimisation of methane production. Understanding multi-physics in coal beds is necessary to address this challenge. This project will explore two-phase flow in fractures, sorption and diffusion mechanisms, stress dependency, and the complex coupling of these processes in coal beds. This is expected to enhance knowledge of fluid transport in coal beds and improve the capacity to safely and efficiently exploit this resource.
