“…From the NPV statistics of those marginal CBM target, the minimum value is À400 MM yuan. If innovative development and management technologies can be effectively adopted, coupled with a more preferential industry policy, these CBM target areas probably become economic to develop in the future [34,35].Overall, of the total 85 areas, 34 or 40% are economic, 15or 18% are marginally economic, and 36 or 42% are uneconomic, shown in Fig. 2.…”

“…Annual CBM production was more than 60 billion cubic meters, which once accounted for about 10% of its annual natural gas production. Around 2000, Canada and Australia also realized commercial development of CBM, adopting CBM development technologies from the United States, and developed unique development technology suitable for their own CBM resources [4][5][6][7][8][9]. China also has rich CBM resources.…”

Coalbed Methane (CBM) is a high-quality unconventional energy resource. The successful development and utilization of a CBM resource needs to consider technical feasibility and economic viability. These factors are also necessary for the improvement of production safety in coal mines, reducing carbon emission, and optimizing energy structure. Because of its unique resource characteristics, surface drilling is the prevailing development approach all over the world. Directional and horizontal wells are generally the two major well-types for CBM development. Development well-type is an important factor affecting CBM efficient development, as it is a key factor in the process of the economic and effective development of CBM resource. In this paper, a method based on Unit Technical Cost (UTC) will be constructed from the perspective of economic viability, and will be used for more simple and accurate optimization of CBM. This method is used for practical well-type optimization in two major CBM development basins in China, and the application results prove that this method is scientifically accurate and feasible.

“…Methane is emitted from various man-made and natural sources. The man-made (anthropogenic) sources include Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) landfills (Machado et al, 2009), rice paddies Basse et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009), coal mining (Luo and Dai, 2009;Torano et al, 2009), oil and gas drilling and processing Kirchgessner et al, 1997), cattle ranching (Kebreab et al, 2008), manure (Sommer et al, 2004), agricultural products (Bauer et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2009), anaerobic wastewater treatment plants (Shahabadi et al, 2010) and rising main sewers (Guisasola et al, 2009).…”
