The extraction process of CBM involves the dewatering of coal seams, enabling the release of trapped methane gas [1].However, one of the primary challenges encountered during CBM production is the significant amount of water that accompanies the extracted gas [2].This water, known as produced water, poses a major problem in terms of treatment, disposal, and potential environmental impacts.
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).
Coalbed methane (CBM), is also known as coalbed gas and coal seam gas/methane (CSG/CSM), which are terms refer ring to the unconventional natural gas resource stored in coal
Based on the basic geological data and production data of coalbed methane wells in the Shouyang Block, the characteristics and influencing factors of coalbed methane well production were analyzed, and the primary controlling factors were identified by the grey correlation method. The results show that the average daily gas production of the coalbed methane wells in the study area for the ...
Extracting methane gas by drilling into coal seams can both reduce the gas disaster and achieve the rational exploitation of coalbed methane (CBM) as an unconventional and clean resource [5,6]. Absolutely, CBM has received considerable attention as a strategic resource in the world [711].
Coalbed methane recovery is complex and involves methane desorption, diffusion, and seepage 67,68. Desorption is the initial stage of the whole methane migration process, which is one of the ...

The mining induced permeability enhancement technique was conceptually illustrated in Fig. 1. Effective extraction of gas in adjacent gassy seam(s) could significantly decrease the gas content and pressure in the seam, thus realizing the objective of extraction of both coal and methane in a safe environment [6], [11], [18], [26], [27].
Coalbed methane (CBM) plays an important role in securing world energy supply and transiting electricity generation from fossil fuel to renewables. CBM reservoirs are generally very tight and require effective stimulation to achieve economic extraction. In recent years, an increasing number of coal seam stimulation techniques were developed, but selecting the most suitable stimulation ...
CBM refers to methane that is found in and extracted from coal seams. It is formed during the coalification process, which is the transformation of organic plant material into coal. CBM is also known as virgin coal seam methane or coal seam gas, and is widely considered an "unconventional" source of natural gas.
Injection of hightemperature water or steam into lowpermeability coalbed for efficient and rapid extraction of coalbed methane has been studied by our university for many years and will soon be implemented in the field. With comprehensive consideration of coupling of heat transfer, water seepage, desorption of coalbed methane, and coalrock mass deformation, the paper establishes a more ...
Extraction of coal bed methane is not without controversy. CBM extraction involves pumping large volumes of water from coal seams in order to release water pressure that traps gas within the coal. The quantity, quality, and dispersal of this water is a source of much debate. Each well is expected to produce approximately 5 to 20 gallons of ...
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.
To study the effect of CO2 injection pressure on gas migration characteristics and coalbed methane (CBM) extraction, a platform for the experimental replacement of CH4 with CO2 was used to conduct experiments on the replacement of CH4 under different CO2 injection pressures and analyze the gas transport characteristics and CH4 extraction during the experiment. The results reveal that the rate ...
Although the interaction of gas and coal has been comprehensively investigated in coalbed methane (CBM) extraction process, fewer scholars have taken the effect of temperature and groundwater into account, which brought a large deviation for CBM extraction design. In this study, a fully coupled thermalhydraulicmechanical model (THM) including coal deformation, gas seepage, water seepage ...
energy sources, coal bed methane gas receives considerable attention for its potential as a good energy source. During the coalification process, methane gas is captured in the coal seams and later released during coal mining operations. Coal bed methane separation is crucial for both economic benefit and methane emission reduction.
Teng et al. put forward that temperature is the key factor affecting CBM extraction, and coal bed heating can effectively promote methane desorption and improve the efficiency of CBM extraction [14]. ... but there is little research on the heat and energy changes in the process of methane adsorption and desorption under the restriction of ...

Coalbed methane resource development can not only reduce the natural emission of a greenhouse gas and ensure full energy utilization, but it can also allow safer coal mining and reduce the risk of underground disasters like gas and coal outbursts and fires from spontaneous combustion (Wang et al., 2012; Zou et al., 2020).

The extraction of coal bed methane is similar to the extraction of shale gas. First, a well is drilled into a coal seam . Then the sides of the well are cased with a cemented steel pipe, and small holes known as perforations are made in the walls of the casing in order to allow the methane gas to flow into the bore hole and up the well to the ...
Coalbed methane production began in the 1980s; shale gas extraction is even more recent. The main enabling technologies, hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, have opened up new areas for oil and gas development, with particular focus on natural gas reservoirs such as shale, coalbed and tight sands.
