An internal swelling factor model to examine the influence of permeability anisotropy on coalbed methane extraction

Abstract Owing to the characteristics of coal reservoirs, the gas flow capacity and permeability exhibit strong anisotropy. The anisotropy in terms of the magnitude, which corresponds to the permeability in the horizontal direction being several orders of magnitude larger than that in the vertical d...
