Abstract

A single-phase, 1D mathematical formulation is developed in radial/cylindrical coordinates to examine unsteady-state micropore sorption in a composite micropore/fracture, coalbed-methane transport problem. In the formulation, the micropore transport equation accounts for unsteady-state sorption and diffusion in the primary porosity. Gas entering the fracture network is considered a source term in the fracture-transport equation. The micropore and fracture systems are coupled by equating the gas pressure at the surface of the micropore elements to the pressure in the fracture network.
