Abstract

The properties of coal rocks play a crucial role in coalbed methane (CBM) development. Research indicates that coal rock types, maturity, and pore structure directly shape the storage and release characteristics of CBM. The diverse micro-pore structures impact the gas storage capacity in coal seams, influencing extraction efficiency. Furthermore, variations in coal rock permeability directly affect gas mobility underground, exerting a decisive impact on extraction outcomes. A comprehensive understanding of coal rock properties facilitates the optimization of development strategies, aiding in the selection of appropriate enhanced permeability techniques to increase CBM production and recovery rates. This research holds significant importance in driving technological innovation, sustainable development, and optimizing resource utilization in the coalbed methane industry.
