Pore structure characterization and its significance for gas adsorption in coals: A comprehensive review

Dameng Liu, Feng Qiu, Ning Liu et al. · 1 Jan 2022

The coal reservoir has multifaceted and hierarchical characteristics influenced by heterogeneity of the pore and fracture networks. The coal pore including micropore, mesopores and macropores determines the critical migrate processes of gas molecules, especially for adsorption. Normally, coal pore structure refers to the pore shape, size distribution and interconnection of variable pores. Together with pore…

Integrating solar and wind energy into the electricity grid for improved power accessibility

Collins N. Nwagu, Chika Oliver Ujah, Daramy Vandi Von Kallon et al. · 28 Nov 2024

A rise in the need for the integration of renewable energy sources , such as wind and solar power, has been attributed to the search for sustainable energy solutions. To strengthen community grids and improve access to electricity, this article investigates the potential of combining solar and wind hybrid systems. This is viable approach to…

Exploring geothermal energy as a sustainable source of energy: A systemic review

Charity M. Nkinyam, Chika Oliver Ujah, Christian O. Asadu et al. · 3 Feb 2025

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source with potential to facilitate the world's transition to clean and sustainable energy. Despite its capabilities, geothermal energy currently accounts for barely 0.34 % of the global energy contribution. However, its ability to provide consistent and reliable electrical power especially for base load demand positions it as a competitive…

Reservoir characteristics and gas production potential of deep coalbed methane: Insights from the no. 15 coal seam in shouyang block, Qinshui Basin, China

Wenping Jiang, Peihe Zhang, Dandan Li et al. · 1 Jan 2022

Considering the large burial depth and unclear coalbed methane (CBM) development potential of the No. 15 coal seam in the Shouyang block in the northern Qinshui Basin, this study investigated the characteristics and gas production capacity of deep CBM reservoirs in the No. 15 coal seam based on the analysis of geological characteristics of CBM…

Geology still matters – Unconventional petroleum system disappointments and failures

Barry J. Katz, Ling Gao, J.E. Little et al. · 1 Jan 2021

Machine learning and factory drilling approaches have increased efficiency and improved the commerciality in many tight plays. However, not all the original resource estimates and potential opportunities have, been confirmed by the drill-bit. Although some of the commercial disappointments have been a result of policy decisions, more often they are due to partial or complete…
