A Comparative Analysis of the Production Characteristics of Cavity Completions and Hydraulic Fractures in Coalbed Methane Reservoirs

摘要

Coalbed methane wells usually require a stimulation technique because their initial flow rates are often quite low. Hydraulic fracturing is the most common type of stimulation technique applied to coalgas reservoirs. Recently, open-hole cavity completions have become an alternative stimulation technique in coalbed methane reservoirs.
