Geological characteristics and main enrichment controlling factors of coalbed methane in Nanchuan area, southeastern Sichuan Basin by Xipeng HE, Kaiming WANG, Wei LUO, Yuqiao GAO, Nana LIU, Tao GUO, Yatong ZHOU, Didi WU

“…It is characterized by "high gas content, abundant free gas, and oversaturation", and its gas content increases with burial depth. (4) The in-situ stress in the study area is moderate (35 to 60 MPa), with a small two-way horizontal stress difference coefficient (< 0.1) and good roof and floor plates, forming effective stress shielding favorable for fracturing transformation. (5) The main controlling factors for CBM methane enrichment in the Nanchuan area include the sedimentary environment, which determines coal-bearing formations; the degree of coal evolution, which determines the intensity of hydrocarbon generation; and the preservation conditions, which govern CBM enrichment.…”
