Identification of coal structures using geophysical logging data in Qinshui Basin, China: Investigation by kernel Fisher discriminant analysis

Coal structure is closely related to the porosity and permeability of coal reservoirs, which not only affects the enrichment of coalbed methane (CBM), but also influences the hydraulic fracturing and efficient development of CBM. The accurate identification of the coal structure would be a critical issue in CBM exploration and development, and is always a challenge. Compared with traditional methods for identifying coal structure base on...
