Laboratory study and prediction on coal permeability of Qinshui Basin... 

In order to predict the permeability change during CBM production, cleat compressibility and adsorption-induced volumetric swelling strain should be studied firstly. According to Fu et al. (2003), the Young modulus and Poisson s ratio of middle rank coal under at the depth of 500-800 m in central and southern part of the Qinshui Basin is 3.05 Mpa and 0.19, respectively. The sample used in this study belongs to middle rank coal and is from about 700 m depth in Changzhi area, south... 

Qinshui Basin, so we can use the two parameters directly to calculate the swelling strain. According to Pan and Connell (2007), mixed-gas adsorption-induced swelling stain can be predicted, on assuming that linear swelling strain is approximately one third of volumetric sweUing strain (Palmer Mansoori 1996, Palmer Mansoori 1998, Pekot Reeves 2003) ...
