TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mineral alteration by hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid (HCl-HF) on fracture compressibility and coal permeability was investigated, and the overall findings show that mineral alteration yielded relatively large, crystalline minerals that appeared to provide structural support to fractures, resulting in enhanced fluid flow and improved resistance to compression.

TL;DR: In this paper, aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution was used to assess the effect of mineral dissolution on coal core permeability, and it was shown that cleat demineralization using HCl can be an effective means to overcome low permeability provided cleat connectivity and mineralogy are characterised.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the structural changes that HCl acidizing can produce in small-scale core samples, and investigated the mineral characteristics that control the extent of these changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, two core samples from the Cooper Basin Roseneath-Epsilon-Murteree (REM) sequence were geochemically characterised in detail, and the results confirmed the dissolution of siderite, pyrite, sphalerite, and also ankerite from Murteree shale.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM)-based numerical model for the simulation, prediction, and visualisation of the reaction transport is proposed to numerically investigate relationships between physio-chemical changes and permeability during coal stimulation.
