Micro-scale fracturing mechanisms in coal induced by adsorption of supercritical CO2
Coal bed methane production can be assisted by CO2 injection. However, CO2 adsorption in the coal matrix leads to a dramatic reduction in permeability and an associated change in microstructure caused by coal matrix swelling. Furthermore, it has been recently observed that the induced swelling stres...
