1. Introduction. Coal reservoir is a multiscale complex system with the naturally fractured dualporosity medium consisting of cleats and matrices (Gan et al., 1972; Harpalani and Chen, 1997).The pore structure of coal matrix which is the main storage site of coalbed methane (CBM), and the fracture and cleat which are the permeable channel for CBM production, amalgamate to form the ...
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The form definition of a cleat in a coal specimen is based on the widely accepted concept of an orthogonal network of butt and face cleats with both normal to the bedding plane (Fig. 1). For the study of cleat occurrence and geometry in 2D image processing, a cleat has been defined as a feature that is longer than wide and aligned straight.

The accuracy of the reconstruction results was verified by mercury intrusion test and proximate analysis. (2) The pore size distribution show high heterogeneity in REV space.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829This paper reviews recent developments on the cleatscale characterisation of coal. Novel microCT imaging and image calibration methods are described. The application of microCT imaging for studying diffusion processes in ultralow permeability media is shown. The extraction of statistical information from microCT images to reconstruct cleats are demonstrated.

The brightness contrasts shown in the images represent the Xray attenuation in each material, which depends on the atomic number and the density of the material (Van Geet et al., 2001).Voids in the tested coal sample are shown in black in ...
