Experimental investigation of propagation mechanisms and fracture morphology for coalbed methane reservoirs

Abstract Fracture propagation mechanisms in coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs are very complex due to the development of the internal cleat system. In this paper, the characteristics of initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures in coal specimens at different angles between the face cleat and...
