CSIRO is developing gas-to-liquid (GTL) technologies to more cost effectively develop cleaner fuels and chemical processes using Australia's abundant natural gas resources. These GTL technologies provide the nation's energy sector with the opportunity to fully utilise Australia's hydrocarbon resources, enhancing...

Dr Zhejun Pan is working to understand coal seam gas reservoir behaviour and developing simulators used to investigate the relationships between reservoir properties. His current research activities include: modelling of gas adsorption-induced coal swelling and its impact on coal permeability...
-
FLAMED has the capability to simulate coal seam gas migration with geomechanical behaviour. The capabilities of FLAMED have a number of deliverable outcomes including: improvement of the prediction of gas production from coal seams; the ability to investigate other geomechanical...
-
SIMEDWin is a mechanistic model based on the approaches used for the simulation of oil and gas reservoirs but specifically designed to represent the unique dual porosity, adsorption dominated reservoirs encountered with gas in coal. It is a multi-component simulator,...
-
CSIRO has conducted experimental measurements on gas adsorption with respect to water content on coal core. The results of this project demonstrate that water content has a significant impact on gas diffusion rates, coal swelling and the elastic properties of...
-
This paper highlights the factors controlling CBM production and focus on the opportunity and the challenges facing CBM production in Australia. In addition to a favourable government policy and gas market and the advancement in directional drilling technology, the paper...
-
CSIRO has developed a methodology to characterise the coal permeability models commonly used in reservoir simulation through laboratory experiments on core samples. Determining these effects during gas production is necessary to allow for coal matrix shrinkage and associated stress changes...
-
In this CSIRO-led project, 460 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) was injected into a coal seam using a multi-lateral horizontal well. A focus for the project was monitoring the migration of the injected CO2 and applying new technologies to obtain...
