Abstract: according to status of the coled methane exploration and development work actually conducted in Guizhou Province and the seach on the oabed methane lierature system from CNK1.the paper systematcally analyzed the historcal progress and development of the coalbed methane exoloration in Guizhou ProvinceThe coaled methane exploration and developmnent work of Guizhou Province could be dided into a eary theoreficaldiscover,theresoures evaluaion and explortin and develonet ril mining,.the risk exploration and development test.engineering mode discovery and others development staes.The coalbed mnethane engineering prgress of Geuizhou Province was prepared and the achievement and experiences of each stage were summarzed.The paper analyzed the stage evolution of the coalbed methane studly and the distrlution of the studyregion.Finally.the paper discussed the geologcal and technical problems faced in the coalbed nethane explrationand development of Guizhou Province.From the geolog c.echnca and poicy aspecs.the paper provided the proposals on the calbed methane exploration and development in Guizhou Province.
