Özet

Modelling desorption-controlled reservoirs is a difficult matter owing to the complex nature of hydrocarbon transport processes. The complexity of enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery is not only caused by desorption-control led behaviour of coalbed reservoirs, but also the interaction between coal media and the injected CO(2)/N(2) gas mixture, which changes the coal properties with respect to injection time. In addition, the characterization of coal reservoirs and the determination of in situ coal properties related to the transport mechanism of methane are complicated, as there is a lack of standard procedures in the literature.
