Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

The principal objectives of this research are;  (1)  to acquire deeper understanding of sorption and flow properties of CBM reservoirs; when they are invaded by CO2;  (2)  to develop a realistic model for the morphology of CBM reservoirs; and in particular their fracture network;  and (3)  to use large scale computer simulation to model single- and two-phase flow; diffusion; and sorption of water; CO2; CH4; and other gases in CBM reservoirs.

Accomplishment: test results                                                                                        
Description: N2 Adorption/Desorption data(micro &meso scale)and Permporometry (macro scale) give us a good idea of pore size distribution over the coal sample

Lab Scale CO2 Sequestration Experiments (currently in progress) will help provide data to carry out CO2-CH4 adsorption /desorption simulations

Tomography techniques will assist in creating realistic models for pore networks in coal

Field level data can be used to carry out simulations on a larger scale ¿ (reservoir level)
