In Situ Stress Distribution and Its Control on the Coalbed Methane Reservoir Permeability in Liulin Area, Eastern Ordos Basin, China by Peng Feng, Song Li, Dazhen Tang, Liangjun Wu, Yan Zhang, Guanghao Zhong

“…The permeability variation is related to the type of stress field in different burial depths, and its essence is the deformation and destruction of coal pore structures caused by stress. The distribution characteristics of in situ stress at different depths and its effect on permeability are as follows: at depths<800 m, the horizontal principal stress is dominant (σH≥σv>σh) and the permeability is a simple decreasing process with the increase of the depth; at depths>800 m, the vertical stress is dominant (σv≥σH>σh). …”
