Study on Evaluation System for Coalbed Methane from Deep Coal Seams in China

In this study, data from 244 CBM production wells were collected and analyzed in China. Based on the data, coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir properties and geological factors were studied. Combined with previous study results, the current situation of CBM resource evaluation, the classification of evaluation indexes and evaluation standard were analyzed. Finally, the evaluation system aiming at deep coal seam CBM was suggested. This system tries to provide important theoretical and technical support to CBM exploration and geological target selection evaluation for deep coal seams in China. This will provide important guideline and technical support to CBM exploration and geological target selection evaluation in deep coal seam CBM in China.
