Summary: Decarbonization of the mining industry through energy generation closure, coal mine methane cogeneration, and internal consumption is crucial for sustainable development. However, deep underground mining faces challenges in utilizing man-made gas reservoirs. This study aims to improve drilling parameters for increasing methane production from unconventional coal-gas collectors. The innovative approach involves using established patterns of better natural stability of boreholes and optimizing them as spatial orientation parameters.

Summary: This study measured the high-pressure adsorption isotherms of two coal samples to investigate the methane adsorption process and mechanisms in coal. The results showed that micropore filling and surface adsorption are the primary adsorption mechanisms for supercritical methane in coal, with micropore filling occurring in pores smaller than 1.1 nm and surface adsorption occurring in 1-2 nm pores. Micropore filling adsorption plays a significant role in the overall methane adsorption, and the nano-confined effect and low water saturation contribute to the enrichment of free gas in deep coalbed methane (CBM). These findings provide insights into the occurrence behavior of unconventional natural gas in reservoirs.

Summary: Surface mining, as an important method for extracting CBM, has been rarely explored from a perspective of policy incentive or management optimization, thus limiting the scale development of the CBM industry. To address this problem, a multi-stakeholder equilibrium-based subsidy allocation mechanism was developed to promote CBM extraction and utilization, considering higher methane concentrations and more mature technology in surface mining. Compared with the traditional uniform unit subsidy policy, the proposed mechanism allows enterprises to access higher subsidies if they increase output, facilitating CBM surface mining utilization.

Summary: A model of coalbed methane enrichment and extraction in abandoned mine gobs was established to study the migration law and seepage characteristics of CBM. It was found that during mine closure, CBM pressure gradually recovers and is positively correlated with the matrix pressure and diffusion coefficient of coal seam. Residual coal in the gob is the dominant source of CBM seepage during extraction, and the layout of surface wells, negative extraction pressure, and extraction time can affect CBM production and recovery.
