Normally researchers prefer to study drill core sample, but for an individual student it is sort of difficult to acquire core samples, in that case, is it possible to take bulk sample from any kind of mining and take a core sample from that bulk sample in lab?
For the direct measurement core sample is required and it is the standard practice. From a very gassy mine, the coal sample may provide some indirect inference however, not a substitute for the core sample.
@Siddharth Singh___ you mean that i can find reservoir properties of coal (CBM) without core sample from conventional sample from mining site?
Indirect method can never be a substitute for the direct method however, from a coal sample after preparing a core and after having proximate analysis and adsorption isotherm values the Kim's formula can be used. One may find the results with significant level of uncertainty.
