Colabed methane system is a natural system that consists of coal seams, coalbed methane in them and surrounding rocks. As an unconventional natural gas, reservoir and conservation of coalbed methane are different from those of conventional hydrocarbon. The Qinshui Basin, covering an area about 30,000sq.km in southeastern Shanxi Province, has abundant coalbed methane resources in the carboniferous Taiyuan formation and permian Shanxi formation, with an in-situ methane resource 3.3×1012 m3.In this study, the structural deformation and tectonic evolution of coalbed methane system in Qinshui basin were reported. Relationships between structural deformation and the formation of coalbed methane reservoir in Qinshui Basin were also discussed. The results show that Yangquan-Shouyang area in the north part of the basin and Tunliu-Xiangyuan area in the east are favorable for formation coalbed methane system. In contrast, Jincheng-Qinshui area in the south part of basin and the Qinyuan area in the middle of basin are favorable for both the formation of coalbed methane reservoirs and high yields as well.

Well Location

There are abundant CBM (Coalbed Methane) in China. These CBM has caused a remarkable problem to the coal-mining in China. In order to improve the structure of Chinese energy and eliminate the risk of coal mine gas, the relevant industries and sections have implemented many explorations in CBM enriched areas. With great achievements, there are many important problems in the actions of CBM exploitation. The disadvantageous interaction of the surface CBM well and the later coal mining has been ignored at all. There are many disadvantages and defects. To solve these problems and eliminate or weaken the disadvantageous, the scientific and reasonable design of surface CBM well location is an important step. With the thinking of surface condition, coal mining plan, the arrangement of coal mine laneway, the direction and scale of the in-situ stress, and thinking more about the negative influence to and of surface CBM well, according to the theories of mining dynamics, mining engineering, mining geomechanics, and the CBM engineering, the design theory of the surface CBM well net can be studied. Finally, the arrangement principle of CBM product well in coal field is presented. The existing or future coal pillar will be a critical location for the surface CBM well location.
