Coal Geology & Exploration
To explore the bio-permeability enhancing effect via methanogen treatment on different rank coals after anaerobic fermentation, micro-CT was used to analyze the change characteristics of pore structure of coal before and after biodegradation. At the same time, the adsorption characteristics of methanogens on the coal surface after anaerobic biodegradation were observed by scanning electron microscopy to analyze the reasons for the effect difference of biological transformation of different rank coals. The results show that the porosity and total throat length of the coal samples biodegraded increase and the connectivity of the pores is enhanced, it is indicated that coal samples …
Shale Gas Potential Of Yanguanjie Formation And Longtan Formation In Central And Southeastern Hunan Province, Cao Taotao, Deng Mo, Liu Hu, Huang Yanran, Stefan Andrew Hurssthouse
Shale Gas Potential Of Yanguanjie Formation And Longtan Formation In Central And Southeastern Hunan Province, Cao Taotao, Deng Mo, Liu Hu, Huang Yanran, Stefan Andrew Hurssthouse
Coal Geology & Exploration
In order to reveal the shale gas potential and exploration direction of the marine-continental transitional shale in central and southeastern Hunan, samples were collected from the Lower Carboniferous Yanguanjie Formation and Upper Permian Longtan Formation, measurements were conducted on TOC, Rran, kerogen carbon isotope, maceral composition, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, porosity, permeability and methane sorption capacity. The results indicate that Yanguanjie Formation and Longtan Formation shale are at the mature stage, and mainly dominated by type Ⅲ kerogen. The Longtan shale generally has higher TOC content, while Yanguanjie shale has usually low TOC content. The minerals are …
