Paper Summary

The researchers studied how magnetic properties can help understand coalbed methane reservoirs. They looked at samples from Kazakhstan and found that high magnetic susceptibility means low permeability, while low magnetic susceptibility means high permeability. This can help predict how easy it is for methane to flow through the coal.
