The extraction of coalbed methane produces a significant amount of coalbed methane co-produced water (CBMW). Coalbed methane co-produced water is often characterized by high levels of pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium (Na) and bicarbonate (HCO−3) and if used for irrigation without treatment, it may be detrimental to the surrounding soil, plants and environment. CBMW ideally should be disposed of by reinjection into the ground, but because of the significant cost associated, CBMW is commonly discharged onto soil or water surfaces. This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of the CBMW (with TDS value of <1500 ppm) at various blending ratios with fresh water on the yield and quality of representative forage crops [i.e., oat (Avena sativa) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa)]. Various blends of CBMW with fresh water reduced fresh and dry weight of alfalfa by 21.5–32% and 13–30%, respectively and fresh and dry weight of oat by 0–17% and 0–14%, respectively. Irrigation with various blends of CBMW and fresh water increased soil pH and soil sodium adsorption ratio. However, forage quality parameters such as crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), total digestible nutrients (TDN) and relative feed value (RFV) of both forage crops remained unaffected.

To meet the global energy demands, the exploitation of coalbed methane has received increasing attention. Biogeochemical parameters of co-produced water from coalbed methane wells were performed in the No. 3 coal seam in the Shizhuangnan block of the southern Qinshui Basin (China). These biogeochemical parameters were firstly utilized to assess coal reservoir environments and corresponding coalbed methane production. A high level of Na+ and HCO3– and deuterium drift were found to be accompanied by high gas production rates, but these parameters are unreliable to some extent. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) isotopes δ13CDIC from water can be used to distinguish the environmental redox conditions. Positive δ13CDIC values within a reasonable range suggest reductive conditions suitable for methanogen metabolism and were accompanied by high gas production rates. SO42–, NO3– and related isotopes affected by various bacteria corresponding to various redox conditions are considered effective parameters to identify redox states and gas production rates. Importantly, the combination of δ13CDIC and SO42– can be used to evaluate gas production rates and predict potentially beneficial areas. The wells with moderate δ13CDIC and negligible SO42– represent appropriate reductive conditions, as observed in most high and intermediate production wells. Furthermore, the wells with highest δ13CDIC and negligible SO42– exhibit low production rates, as the most reductive environments were too strict to extend pressure drop funnels.

The draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas stutzeri strain K35 was separated from a metagenome derived from a produced water microbial community of a coalbed methane well. The genome encodes a complete nitrogen fixation pathway and the upper and lower naphthalene degradation pathways.
