Analysis on Main Control Factors of Coal Bed Methane Reservoir Forming in Baishanping Minefield

In order to determine BaishanpingDs exploration prospects of coal bed methane, the authors studied the coal bed methane exploration potential and the accumulation of favorable zones based on finishing the comparative study of Baishanping Mine No.5 and No.6 seam of north and south wing of coal bed methane reser voir control factors.The results showed that thickness of Baishanping No.5 and No.6 coal seam was more thick in south wing.The two sets of coal seam thickness beca me gradually thicker from north to south. The stability of coal seam improved from side to core of syncline. The late magmatic intrusive heating to hydrocarbon source ro ck resulted in secondary hydrocarbon generation.In addition, fault development less, only two small faults in south, roof poor permeability and thickness were larger tha n the north wing, preservation condition was better than the north wing.So from the main control factors of coal bed methane reservoirs forming of Baishanping, overall exploration prospect in south wing was better than the north wing. .
