Coalbed methane development faces pressure sensitivity, requires careful monitoring for success.
The researchers conducted experiments on coal cores to study how the permeability of coalbed methane reservoirs changes under different pressures. They found that the permeability of coal cores is influenced by both the pressure and the direction of the cores. In areas with lower pressure, the permeability changes more quickly, while in areas with higher pressure, it changes more slowly. This information is important for developing coalbed methane efficiently.
