Abstract
Coalbed methane (CBM) is a potential green energy supply for addressing the worldwide energy crisis. However, the recovery of economically viable amounts of methane requires the application of production-enhancement techniques. The greater effectiveness of enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery compared to traditional pressure depletion and hydraulic stimulation techniques has been identified in terms of higher CBM recovery with minimal pollution risk and the ability to contribute to CO2 sequestration. Gas transport behavior in a coal seam is the governing factor for ECBM recovery, which includes sorption/desorption and diffusion in the matrix and advective flux in cleats. The interactions among sorption, diffusion, and flow indicate the complexity and abstruseness of gas transport in coal. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide comprehensive knowledge of the gas transport process in deep coal seams, particularly in relation to the ECBM process. According to the review, the dual-porosity sys...
