What is Coalbed Methane Extraction? Coalbeds are a source of unconventional gas. CBM is naturally created during the geologic process of converting plant material to coal (coalification). To extract the methane, CBM operators drill wells into coal seams and pump out ground water (produced water or CBM wastewater).
This study further reveals the mechanism of CBM formation and accumulation process in the Huaibei coalfield, which could benefit the exploration and development of CBM in this area. ...

Enhanced coal bed methane recovery using gas injection can provide increased methane extraction depending on the characteristics of the coal and the gas that is used. Accurate prediction of the extent of gas adsorption by coal are therefore important. Both experimental methods and modeling have been used to assess gas adsorption and its effects, including volumetric and gravimetric techniques ...
The commercial exploitation of coalbed methane (CBM) has been achieved in the Qinshui Basin, China. However, the productivity of wells varies greatly because of their different geological settings and production rules, and the permeability damage to coal reservoirs caused during the development process is one of the most important factors affecting productivity.
The coalbed methane well production is affected by stress sensitivity, matrix shrinkage, stimulation pattern (whether or not the gas well is hydraulically fractured), the variation of fracture conductivity, nonDarcy flow of gas in coal formation, pressure propagation process at the dewatering stage, production schedule (the gas well is ...
Coalbed methane production generally experiences the process of dewatering, depressurization, desorption, diffusion, and seepage. For a singlelayer drainage well, the displacement of formation water is a prerequisite for CBM production, which controls the depressurization behavior of CBM wells (Zhang et al., 2018).
Coalbed methane (CBM), a form of natural gas distributed in coal seams or adjacent sandstones, is a relatively untapped energy source with a large potential: The global reserves in 2014 were estimated at 50 trillion m 3, equivalent to 11% of conventional natural gas resources ().Largescale CBM production has been implemented in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries worldwide.

Coalbed methane is generated in the coalification process. The two main sources of methane are biogenic and thermogenic, as shown in Fig. 1 (Moore, 2012).Normally, the thermogenically derived methane content in coal is higher than the content of biogenic methane (typically less than 6 m 3 /t). In a specific basin, the biogenic methane is more likely to occur in the shallow coal beds, whereas ...

Injection of CO 2 and subsequent desorption of CH 4 is considered to be the most efficient enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery technique to date. Meanwhile, CO 2 ECBM is an excellent option for CO 2 geosequestration for an extended period. Despite ongoing research efforts and several field applications of this technology, the mechanisms of the process have yet to be fully understood.

Cumulatively, approximately 316 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of coalbed methane have been produced in Kansas since 2001, which is the year southeastern Kansas gas production started rising dramatically. Production in 2008 ( Bcf) represents the peak of Kansas coalbed methane production (fig. 3), and annual volumes have declined modestly since ...
Enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery is a process in which CO2 is injected into a coalbed methane seam to increase methane recovery. CO2 has a greater ability to adsorb onto the coal surface than methane (Young et al., 2007). CO2 injected into a coal seam preferentially adsorbs onto the coal and displaces methane for production.
Demand for a cleaner source of energy is increasing in India. In the search for alternate energy sources, coal bed methane gas receives considerable attention for its potential as a good energy source.

Coal bed methane (CBM) is a primary clean energy source found in coal seams. The recovery ratio of CBM is very low, especially with ground extraction, due to the strong adsorption of CH 4 on the pores and fissures of coal and low permeability of the coal bed. On the basis of the theory of energy balance, a theory of enhanced CBM (ECBM) recovery by energy stimulation is proposed in this review.
