Field Investigation of Hydraulic Fracturing in Coal Seams and Its Enhancement for Methane Extraction in the Southeast Sichuan Basin, China

Hydraulic fracturing is an effective technology for enhancing the extraction of reservoir methane, as proved by field experience and laboratory experiments. However, unlike conventional reservoirs, coal seams had high stress sensitivity and high anisotropy. Therefore, the efficiency of hydraulic fra...
