Abstract

Abstract: China has abundant coalbed methane (CBM) resources. Through more than 30 years of exploration and development, CBM industry in China has entered the stage of large-scale development, but the overall progress is relatively slow, which is characterized by the far less production and sales volumes than the total amount of CBM resources. This paper systematically describes the development history, policy and industry status of China's CBM industry, analyzes the corresponding problems and reasons, and further puts forward the technical and management countermeasures and suggestions for the sustainable development of CBM business. Results show the following deficiencies: (1) No detailed CBM geological study; (2) lack of the basic theoretical research and field pilot test work; (3) incomplete enterprise management mode, insufficient exploration investment, and lack of professional and technical personnel. In view of these problems, three key technical countermeasures are put forward: (1) Enhance geological evaluation of CBM resource; (2) Strengthen technical research and integrated supporting technologies; (3) Optimally select appropriate CBM development mode and field engineering scheme. Furthermore,three management measures and suggestions are proposed on the policies and regulations in recent years and the current situation of CBM companies: (1) Implement the existing policies and strengthen management; (2) Intensify the comprehensive management within the enterprise; (3) Change the understandings on the benefits of CBM development, so as to promote the CBM industry to become an important supplementary energy for the national economy. The above measures will solve the problems and promoting high-quality development of CBM business in China.

Key words: coalbed methane, industry, technology, management, strategy
