Funded Activity Summary

Relative Permeability in Coal. This project aims to deliver a better model for coal relative permeability to improve the management of coal seam gas reservoirs. Coal relative permeability is a key factor in reservoir models; however, current understanding of relative permeability is wrong for coal systems and predictions based on it are misleading. Relative permeability is currently carried over from conventional gas reservoirs as a function of the degree of water saturation only. This misunderstands the physical differences between coal and other rocks as gas reservoirs, fails to recognise the determinants of coal relative permeability, and misrepresents the flow system. This project seeks to provide a phenomenologically-based understanding and functional relationship for coal-relative permeability based on the principles than govern physical flow interactions.
