What is CMB?
In the old days CBM was
mainly a safety risk!
CBM
Formation of CBM
Biogenic methane is
produced by anaerobic
bacteria in the early
stage of coalification
Thermogenic methane
is mainly during
coalification at
temperatures of
120 150 C

Hydraulic
Fracturing
Technique:
Injection of water under
high pressure in a
packed-off borehole
section
Theory:
Fracturing the rock
perpendicular to the
direction of the
minimum principal
stress

Hydraulic
fracturing
Carrying out a first
injection cycle
breakdown cycle
thus creating an
induced fracture
