Key Points:
- Micro-proppants in Shale: In shale, micro-proppants are used to prop open tiny fractures, allowing hydrocarbons like oil or gas to flow more easily.
- Coal: While hydraulic fracturing can be applied to coal seams (especially for coalbed methane extraction), the specific use of micro-proppants in coal is less common and not as widely discussed as in shale. The nature of coal as a softer, more organic material compared to shale might make the use of micro-proppants less effective or necessary.
So, while you can technically use micro-proppants in coal seams, it's not a typical application, and the effectiveness might vary depending on the specific circumstances of the coal seam and the extraction process.
Will be interesting and ground breaking when we hopefully hit success...
