Development mechanism and practical significance of deep coalbed methane (coal rock gas) infiltration and displacement by Lihong ZHOU, Xia YAN, Hongtao LIU, Xianyue XIONG, Feng WANG, Shuguang LI, Jiyuan ZHANG, Chuanqing LIU, Xiong HU, Pu YUAN, Qianli MA, Xueguang ZHU

“…Key findings include:Hydrophilic characteristics: Mineralogical analysis, high-temperature/high-pressure (HTHP) wettability experiments, and macromolecular modeling revealed that deep coal exhibits macroscale hydrophilicity and microscale strong hydrophilicity due to hydrophilic clay mineral filling and oxygen-containing functional groups. Methane adsorption reduction: Isothermal adsorption experiments and HTHP NMR scans demonstrated that fracturing fluids significantly weaken methane-coal interactions. …”
