The controversy surrounding coal bed methane extraction has to do with the use of water during the process and its impact on global climate change. Coal bed methane exploration involves pumping large volumes of water out of coal seams to reduce the hydrostatic pressure and liberate the gas.
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.
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 ...

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.
A method and system for recovering coalbed methane are disclosed. The method involves tunneling along a seam of coal to a point below a water table and at a depth below the water table sufficient for dissolved methane to be present in the water; separating a portion of the water containing dissolved methane while below the water table; reducing pressure on the separated portion for extracting ...

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).
1 INTRODUCTION. Coalbed methane (CBM) is an unconventional methane resource with plentiful reserves and is considered a source of clean energy. Global recoverable CBM reserves are estimated at 49 × 10 12 m 3, which accounts for % of the world's unconventional methane resources. 13 Moreover, to prevent and control coal mine methane disasters, many technologies have been developed to ...
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. Shale Gas Extraction.
A deep understanding of the process of coalbed methane (CBM) extraction is of significance for both the unconventional energy supply and mine safety.
