抄録

The average growth rate of energy consumption in China has been 5.2 percent per annum for the last five years. Energy demand is closely related to economic growth, and a stable energy supply is one of the key strategic policy goals of China.<BR>Coal is the major energy supply source with a seventy-five percent share. Oil production may not increase significantly in spite of planned exploration and production. China has abundant coal reserves, however, transportation and environmental issues could become bottlenecks to the expanded use of coal. Under such circumstances, increases in supplies of natural gas are desirable. China is promoting natural gas exploration and production, however, the share of natural gas to total energy supply is only two percent at present.<BR>Coalbed Methane (CBM) is regarded as an unconventional natural gas resource with reserves contained in coal seams. The volume of CBM in China is estimated to be over 1, 000TCF, and the area of CBM reserves is identical to that of coal. Although a small amount of CBM has been used adjacent to coal mines, most CBM have been ventilated and released into the air as a safety control measure in coal mines. To use CBM as natural gas energy, MOCI (Ministry of Coal Industry) and MGMR (Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources) have performed a survey of CBM reserves in China.<BR>Based upon available data, a preliminary screening was carried out in this study on areas suitable for CBM development from the viewpoint of the volume of CBM reserves and productivity. Fushun, Fuxin, and Baotou coal mines may have great potential for CBM development with higher productivity of CBM per well.<BR>From a business development point of view, various pre-conditions need to be cleared, such as a proper gas market price mechanism, construction of gas supply pipelines, incentives to business enterprises such as tax credits and clarification of the scope of governmental administration for mining rights, for China to use the abundant CBM as a new energy resource.
