Flow in Coal Seams: An Unconventional Challenge - NASA/ADS

A significant unconventional resource for energy is the methane gas stored in shallow coal beds, known as coal seam gas. An integrated imaging and modelling framework is developed for analysing petrophysical behaviour of coals. X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is applied using a novel contrast agent method for visualising micrometer-sized fractures in coal.

After the optimization of a single coal and H 2 O molecule, the molecular layers were established by Amorphous Cell module. The coal molecular number was temporarily set as 10 and the target density as 0.7 g/cm 3 which is an approximate general density of lignite. The geometric optimization was carried out by DMol3 to obtain an ideal initial coal molecular layer …

Methane Matters - NASA

Methane bubbles up from swamps and rivers, belches from volcanoes, rises from wildfires, and seeps from the guts of cows and termites (where is it made by microbes). Human settlements are awash with the gas. Methane leaks silently from natural gas and oil wells and pipelines, as well as coal mines.
