中国煤层气勘探开发进展综述

Advances in exploration and development of coalbed methane in China: A review

综述了中国煤层气勘探开发利用现状,尤其是“十五”期间中国煤层气取得的进展。总结了中国煤层气资源勘探开发成果:基础研究和应用研究齐头并进;勘探方向更加明确;煤层气勘探开发关键技术类型多样,试验推广应用范围扩大;十大重要勘探成果初露煤层气产业化曙光。国家级沁南潘河煤层气开发示范项目、晋城寺河煤层气开发项目、沁南枣园煤层气开发试验项目、阜新煤层气开发试验项目的建成和投产,标志着中国开始进入煤层气商业化开发阶段。

The paper reviews the status of exploration, development and utilization of coalbed methane （CBM） in China, especially the advances made in China＇s CBM industry in the 10th Five-Year Plan period （from 2001 to 2005）. The main achievements in China＇s CBM exploration and development may be summarized as follows： basic research and applied research advance abreast; the exploration direction is clearer; the key technologies of CBM exploitation and development highly varied and have been tested, popularized and applied to a wider field; and ten major exploration achievements show prospects of commercialization. Four state-level CBM development demonstration projects, i.e. the Panhe project and Zaoyuan project in the South Qinshui basin, Sihe project in Jincheng and the Fuxin project in Liaoning, have been completed and put into production, which indicates that the CBM industry in China has stepped into the stage of com.mercialization.
