Based on the mechanism of migration of the coal bed methane (CBM), and taking into account the deformation of the coal rock during the process of CBM production was also taken into account, a coupled mathematical model considering the interaction of solid and fluid for methane extraction was built. The coal gas extraction of JINcheng coal mine was taken as an example, some typical coal sample was chosen to test the permeability under different confining pressure. The curve for permeability of coal rock versus effective stress under different confining pressure was obtained, a numerical model considering the variation of permeability for methane extraction was set up. The influence of deformation of coal rock on the gas production was simulated and analyzed. The simulation results indicate that the productivity curve considering deformation of rock is closer to the actual production data, at the initial stage of production, the gas rate is less than the case without considering deformation of rock, but the time of stable yield will last longer, and this matches the actual methane extraction, therefore, we recommend that the deformation of coal seam should be considered during the prediction of methane production for JINcheng coal mine.

Desorption of Coalbed Methane is one of the key controls to CBM recovery ratio and production capacity. This paper discusses the impact of engineered measures on CBM overall desorption and production capacity with CBM model of Eclipse numerical simulation software. The simulation results show that: with the extension of hydraulic fracture half-length, overall desorption of coal reservoir increased and CBM production capacity improved, daily gas production, maximum gas production and stable yield time increased correspondingly; in different deployment of spacing and well network, the smaller spacing is beneficial to the overall desorption of coal reservoir, but its production can not keep stability because of the serious decline in the late stage of development, while the larger spacing shows in the opposite way.

Fire hazard is one of the severe casualty accident, which injures the life-safety of the miner crucially and disturbs the sustained development of the coal mine. Recently the check-up table is the mere method applying for the assessment of the fire hazard, and the assessment conclusion is subjective intensively and the Index System of the Safety Assessment is not perfect, because the dangerous degree of fire hazard is set up by the professional. In this paper, the seven factors were generalized through the statistic and analysis of the 56 fire hazards, which included self-ignite gradation of coal bed, miner stuff, management of ventilation of coal pits, fire control system, safety administration, mine combustible, risk ratio of the electrical equipment. The ratio of each factor was confirmed by the method of layered analysis, the safety degree was set up through data processing and the proper measure and suggestion were put forward according to the safety result.

Indonesia, whose 453 TCF potential coal bed methane (CBM) reserves, rank the 6th largest CBM reserves around the world. However, the technical limitation is amongst the major issues slowing down the exploitation progress of the resources which current national CBM production only reach up to 1 MMSCFD. This paper provides a newly enhanced coal bed methane (ECBM) recovery method to improve the methane production. Scenarios of nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) injection were used in this study to perform 25 years production simulation and compared with CBM primary production. Created hypothetical model based on the characteristic of coal seams CBM field in South Sumatra, Indonesia, was used to analyze the increasing methane production by using N2 and CO2 injection with different compositions and rates. The result observed about 3,52% incremental methane production by injecting N2 into CBM reservoir. In other words, this new method has an impact on enhancing the CBM national production, particularly South Sumatra CBM field, which could be useful for further CBM development in Indonesia. Mixture injection seemed to be unfavorable for the field due to the difference of gas mechanism. Thus
