Abstract. In this article extraction of methane from coal beds is presented. The article presents results of the study of downhole pumping equipment used in the exploitation of coal bed methane wells. The features of various types of equipment such as piston sucker-rod pumping units, electrical centrifugal pumping units and sucker-rod screw pumping units have been considered. The results show benefits of sucker-rod screw pumping units because of their versatility and resistance to higher content of mechanical impurities.
