An example of vertical integration would be if Standard Oil purchased a railroad. An example of horizonal intergration is Andrew Carnegie Steel purchased a coal mine. Horizontal and vertical integration were used by monopolies to control costs and destroy competition. Vertical integration combined different but related industries under one ...

The vertical Young's modulus of the virtual material is identical to that of the tested coal cores E 3 = 2551 MPa, but the horizontal Young's modulus is set such as E/E 3 = 1.6. Third, for the sake of simplification, the anisotropy of mechanical properties is assumed to totally come from the inequality between E and E 3, so we set ν = ν 3 ...

Our Fine Coal Centrifuge range includes both vertical and horizontal scrolled basket style machines that use centrifugal force to separate surface water from coal. We offer two models: • FC1200 – vertical fine coal centrifuge • HFC1300-S2 – horizontal fine coal centrifuge. Fine coal centrifuges are largely used on coal mines, but their ...

The cleat system orientation and cleat intensity were verified from electrical images in the horizontal wellbores, and image analysis and interpretation resulted in calibrating these results to production rates. Static image normalization in the vertical wells was used as a benchmark to reference the images to the coal quality.

Coal mine degasification started in 1970s and it is an established practice by now in all gassy mines. A reduction of 50% in the in situ gas content was achieved in the Pittsburgh coal seam of United States. For highly gassy coal seams, the coal was first degassed by vertical wells and later by in-mine horizontal drillings.

The task for one or the other machine type is the same – but there are important parameters that have an impact on the decision for either the vertical or the horizontal peeler centrifuge. Important criteria for the selection of a horizontal or a vertical peeler centrifuge can be divided into three categories: installation, process, economy.

Currently, the mining depth of coal seams in China is less than 1000 m. Vertical stress is generally believed to be the minimum principal stress, which is about equal to the weight of the overlying strata. In the main coalbed methane mining areas in Qinshui Basin, China, the coal seam dip angle is less than 10° near the horizontal coal …

The dosing hopper (3) was suspended on three load cells (2), by which the pulverized coal mass flow rate was measured. The EJA 430A differential pressure transducers (11) were used to measure the pressure drops of sections in horizontal pipe, vertical pipe and two bends.

1. Introduction. Coal seam gas reservoirs generally consist of two components: (1) small-diameter pores, providing storage space for coalbed methane (CBM) and (2) natural fractures, not only acting as storage space, but connecting pores in matrix and supplying flow channels for fluid, which can be described by a double-porosity …

Main factors influencing the wide range of apertures (from 50 to 400 mm) of mining-induced horizontal fractures (Torezko-Snezhnyanskaya coal area, Ukraine) at traditional (without grout injection into bed separation) longwall coal mining were analysed. Apertures of these fractures were directly measured (using an original experimental …

Economics. Economics questions and answers. Production of cloth requires two inputs: L workers and R tonnes of coal. The following diagram depicts the isocost associated with the production. You are also given that the wage cost is w= $20, the price of coal is p= $30 and the cost associated with the isocost is c= $180.

Horizontal fractures mainly exist in shallow coal seams, and deep coal seams preferentially induce vertical fractures (Rahim and Holditch 1995; Ma et al. 2016). However, the underground field observations show that there are both horizontal hydraulic fractures and vertical hydraulic fractures in shallow coal seams, and even the vertical ...

If coal bed thicknesses are the same and L = r, then a horizontal wellbore will be in contact with 64% more rock volume.If L = 2r, then it will be in contact with 128% more volume. π is a mathematical constant and refers to the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, equal to 3.14159.. Multi-branched horizontal coal bed wells (MBHW) …

Horizontal wells, such as multi-lateral and multi-branched horizontal wells (MBHWs) have been effectively used in the development of coalbed methane (CBM) …

When the coal pillar was reduced to 2x 0, there was a stress concentration zone in the coal pillar. Due to the horizontal stress, the maximum vertical stress at this position exceeds 58.7 MPa, and there was no elastic zone in the coal pillar.

When the ratio of vertical permeability to horizontal permeability is small, the horizontal permeability is much larger than the vertical permeability. This results in great difficulty for gas to flow in vertical direction and consumes more energy when the well is producing at a constant gas rate.

Coal seams exhibiting nearly horizontal bedding, and fractures can be characterized as transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry, known as vertical transverse isotropy coal seams. The resulting anisotropy cannot be overlooked in high-precision seismic velocity analysis, migration imaging and pre-stack inversion.

Fig. 3 shows the location, trajectory, and coal tops of vertical and lateral wells used in this study. Horizontal well W-1 and vertical well W-2 both have resistivity-based image logs; Vertical wells VP-1 through VP-3 are producers, each connected to two laterals forming the chevron well groups typically used to produce the reservoir in the field.

A mathematical model was developed to analyse stress and permeability distribution during CO 2 storage in depleted coal seam gas reservoirs. The model integrates the geomechanics, matrix shrinkage, and fluid flow behaviour of coal seams with wellbore trajectory effects. The performance of vertical and horizontal wells for CO 2 …

The magnitude of the horizontal stress increases with depth, at rates that range from 0.8 to 2.0 times the vertical stress, just as the WSM "critically stressed crust" model predicts. …

As mentioned earlier, the mechanical properties of deep coal seams under high in-situ stress are significantly different from those of shallow coal seams. With the increase of vertical stress, the hydraulic fractures gradually change from the horizontal to vertical direction, the direction and velocity of the multiphase flow in the fracture ...

Finally, based on the quantitative analysis of 264 coal policy documents of the central and local governments from 2009 to 2020, this study reveals the current situation and fluctuation characteristics of the synergy degree of the de-capacity policies from four angles: horizontal, vertical, temporal, and comprehensive synergies.

Coal mining often leads to large surface displacements with high spatial gradients, which is beyond the detection ability of traditional InSAR. Surface displacements caused by underground coal mining occur in both the horizontal and vertical directions, but traditional InSAR only provides observations in the radar line of sight.

In the vertical direction, the coal at two mark points descended obviously. The coal at b mark point is located on the roof and the displacement is small for the roof is less collapsed during the coal caving process. The displacement in both horizontal and vertical is approximately 40 mm.

The vertical stress is driven by the gravitational load of the overburden strata. Horizontally bedded strata of different stiffness compress fully until they are able to carry the full overburden weight. The vertical stress will therefore be the same in all types of rock or coal strata. On the other hand, a.

The horizontal dense phase conveying system of pulverized coal is characterized by variable flow. The amplitude of variation in pulverized coal flow was relatively small in case 1 ( Cs = 0.43–0.59) and case 7 ( Cs = 0.23–0.28); the flow with high or low solid concentration changed a little in the conveying process.
