Abstract

Presence of natural gas in adsorbed form in coal seams is the primary reason for scientists to attempt CO2 sequestration in the same. The economic analysis states that the additional methane in case of coupled enhanced coalbed methane recovery (ECBMR) with sequestration partly offsets the cost of the operation. Injected CO2 reduces the partial pressure of methane and enhances its desorption from the matrix. Furthermore, CO2 is preferentially adsorbed onto the porous surface of the coal thereby displacing methane from adsorption sites. Apart from estimation of coal gas reserves, several technical parameters related to the adsorption capacity of coals and suitable trapping/sealing mechanism must be ensured before utilizing coal as a CO2 sink.

Parameters such as geomechanical characteristics, swelling/shrinkage, CO2 permeability in coal, role of effective stresses at higher confining pressure corresponding to deeper target coal seams etc. should be studied in detail before embarking on such problems in the field scale. Various studies ranging from experimental to analytical and numerical modeling have been conducted in the past. This chapter reviews the literature in CO2 geosequestration in coal with/without ECBMR covering the physical aspects like fluid flow in coal, fluid storage in the adsorbed form, matrix deformation of the porous media, effect of shrinkage/swelling, flow permeability, existence of fluid in its different phases etc. in context to coals worldwide.
