Simulation of coal resistivity dynamics during methane adsorption and desorption using an electrical rock physics model
2025
Overview
Understanding the correlation between coal resistivity and methane content is critical for optimizing coalbed methane (CBM) recovery and ensuring mining safety. Existing studies mainly rely on empirical trend fitting, leaving a gap in model-driven analyses of resistivity dynamics during methane adsorption and desorption. This study develops a dual-coefficient electrical rock physics model integrating inorganic mineral composition, organic resistivity, methane adsorption–desorption behavior, and pore inclusion structures. Correction coefficients (0.2 for methane and 0.4 for organic resistivity) were introduced to address adsorption heterogeneity and structural complexity. Experimental validation on coal samples (density: 1.45 g/cm
