Coal Reservoir Characterization in a Tectonic Setting and the Effects of Tectonism on the Coalbed Methane (CBM) Content

Research on the relationships among tectonics, micropores, microfractures, and coalbed methane (CBM) content is important for the optimal selection of CBM production areas. In this study, micropore-microfracture structural parameters of coal samples from the Guojiahe coalfield are determined through...

description Research on the relationships among tectonics, micropores, microfractures, and coalbed methane (CBM) content is important for the optimal selection of CBM production areas. In this study, micropore-microfracture structural parameters of coal samples from the Guojiahe coalfield are determined through the use of X-ray photography, an image recognition algorithm, and a liquid nitrogen adsorption method. The relationship between the micropore-microfracture characteristics of the reservoir and the gas content is quantitatively assessed using the Grassberger and Procaccia (GP) algorithm to calculate the correlation dimension of the parameters. Micropore-microfracture development varies in different tectonic zones. Additionally, the CBM content varies according to the characteristic parameters of hysteresis loops and the pore diameter. The correlation dimension is an effective indicator of the nonlinear relationship between reservoir micropore-microfracture characteristics and the gas content.
