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].
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).

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. Shale Gas Extraction.
In the process of coalbed methane extraction, the recovery rate through pressure reduction is low, usually less than 50%. However, gas injection into the reservoir not only maintains the pressure easily but also achieves the purpose of continuous extraction . In this regard, domestic and foreign personnel have conducted pilot tests in the ...

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.

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.

Introduction. Coalbed methane (CBM), as a byproduct of coal, is a clean and highefficiency fuel [1], [2]. The energy released in the combustion of 1 m 3 of methane is million Joules, equivalent to the combustion of kg of standard coal. Although it is a highly efficient energy source, methane can also be the cause of serious disasters that kill hundreds of people every year in China [3].
Most coal has some methane (the main component of natural gas) trapped inside it. This methane is produced during the coal formation process and gets trapped on the surface of the coal in tiny pores and fractures. 1 Many coalbeds also contain large amounts of water; the pressure from this water keeps the methane in place. Coalbed methane is extracted by pumping out the water, which lowers the ...
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 ...
