TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined the changes in structure and permeability of coal under the stress conditions experienced around longwall faces and discussed the effect of fracturing on coal's permeability, and the stress-permeability relationship for fractured coal is compared with that of nonfractured coal.

Modelling permeability for coal reservoirs: A review of analytical models and testing data

TL;DR: A review of coal permeability and the approaches to modelling its behavior can be found in this paper, where the authors identify some potential areas for future work, as well as some potential directions for future research.

Volumetric strain associated with methane desorption and its impact on coalbed gas production from deep coal seams

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated quantitatively the effects of reservoir pressure and sorption-induced volumetric strain on coal-seam permeability with constraints from the adsorption isotherm and associated volumetrized strain measured on a Cretaceous Mesaverde Group coal (Piceance basin) and derived a stressdependent permeability model.

Drawdown Induced Changes in Permeability of Coalbeds: A New Interpretation of the Reservoir Response to Primary Recovery

TL;DR: In this article, a model for pore pressure-dependent cleat permeability is presented for gas-desorbing, linear elastic coalbeds under uniaxial strain conditions experienced in producing reservoirs.

A model for changes in coalbed permeability during primary and enhanced methane, recovery

TL;DR: In this paper, a new version of the stress formulation was proposed by making a direct link between the volumetric matrix strain and the amount of gas desorbed, which can be extended readily to account for adsorption-induced matrix swelling and matrix shrinkage during enhanced methane recovery involving the injection of an inert gas or gas mixture into the seams.

Interactions of multiple processes during CBM extraction: A critical review

TL;DR: In this article, a broad variety of models have been proposed to represent the effects of sorption, swelling and effective stresses on the dynamic evolution of coal permeability, and the performance of these models is evaluated against analytical solutions for the two extreme cases of either free shrinking/swelling or constant volume.

Effect of stress on permeability of coal

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the general flow properties of coal seams under various conditions of applied axial and radial stress and found that the coal seams were strongly stress dependent decreasing by more than two orders of magnitude in the stress range of 250-2000 psi.

The Permeability of Coal to Gas and Water

TL;DR: In this article, a large number of samples from the Pittsburgh and Pocahontas coals were measured at various overburden and mean flow pressures and a wide variation in the air and water permeabilities was obtained for each type of coal.

An investigation into the stress-permeability relationship of coals and flow patterns around working longwall faces

TL;DR: In this paper, seven different coal types, ranging from medium volatile to high volatile bituminous, were tested for stress-permeability relationship under simulated subsurface stress conditions.
