Modeling for gas dissolution and diffusion in water-intrusion coal seam and its potential applications

Leilei Si et al.

Summary: The gas diffusion coefficient and water intrusion radius of coal seam are key factors affecting the equilibrium duration of gas dissolution, with gas diffusion in water-saturated coal being slower. Water convection causes a higher amount of gas to dissolve at the borehole bottom.

3D visualization of tectonic coal microstructure and quantitative characterization on topological connectivity of pore-fracture networks by Micro-CT

Kaizhong Zhang et al.

Summary: Research on the connectivity characteristics and topological relationships of pore-fracture networks in coal is crucial for understanding the microstructure evolution. Micro-CT technology was used to characterize the microstructure of original, tectonic, and reconstructed coals, revealing the impact of tectonism and external stress loading on coal microstructure evolution. Tectonic coal exhibited significantly increased pore space connectivity compared to original coal, while reconstructed coal showed a decrease in connectivity after stress loading.

Modeling and experiment for effective diffusion coefficient of gas in water-saturated coal

Leilei Si et al.

Summary: An improved model was developed to calculate the effective diffusion coefficient of gas in a water-saturated coal core, providing more accurate results compared to traditional models. Experimental results also showed that as coal rank increases, saturated moisture and equilibrium moisture decrease, along with a shift in pore size dominance from micropore/mesopore-dominated to micropores-dominated.

The influence of long-time water intrusion on the mineral and pore structure of coal

Leilei Si et al.

Summary: Intrusion of formation water into coal seams reduces gas extraction efficiency. Experiments showed decreased mineral content and changed pore structure in coal due to water intrusion. Factors such as clay mineral collapse, mineral dissolution, and coal swelling play significant roles in influencing the pore structure of coal during water intrusion.
