Abundant Deep Coalbed Methane Reserves Unleash Potential for Energy Independence.
The researchers evaluated the conditions for forming deep coalbed methane in the eastern sag of the Liaohe basin. They found that the coal beds in the area are widespread, thick, and have low metamorphic grade. The coalbed methane content is low, but saturation is high, and the resources are well-preserved at deep depths. This means there is a lot of coalbed methane available for exploration and development, alongside conventional oil and gas resources. The conditions are favorable for developing deep coalbed methane, with a promising outlook for future exploration and development in the area.
