Abstract: Coalbed methane (CBM) exploitation feasibility is determined by both hydrogeological conditions and hy- draulic fracturing conditions of coal seams. Exploitation feasibility evaluation and reservoir evaluation constitute two important aspects of coalbed methane recoverability. In this paper,through the drainage efficiency comparison between Shouyang and Shizhuang CBM blocks in Qinshui Basin,CBM exploitation feasibility evaluation was discussed from four aspects,including coal measures aquosity,faulting,in-situ-stress state and the lithology combination of coalbed with adjacent rocks. An evaluation flow chart for CBM exploitation feasibility evaluation was finally proposed. The study shows that coal measures aquosity plays an important role in the CBM exploitation feasibility of whole CBM Block. The hydraulic communication between coal seams and surrounding aquifers through faults weakens the closeness of well- bore-fracturing coal system,leading to lower exploitation feasibility of CBM resources near the faults. The stronger the coal measures aquosity is,the greater risk of high water production in wells near faults will take place and the lower exploitation feasibility will be. The in-situ stress state of coalbed and lithology combination of coal seams with adjacent rocks constitute the objective conditions of CBM exploitation feasibility,and a comprehensive evaluation of exploitation feasibility should be done through combining in-situ stress state,the strength of horizontal stress and fracturing vol- umes. The qualitative / semi-quantitative evaluation method of CBM exploitation feasibility,based on hierarchy analysis considering coal measures aquosity,faults,the in-situ stress state and the lithology combination of coal seams with ad- jacent rocks,can be applied to CBM block selection and well / coalbeds selection through the whole process of CBM ex- ploration and development.
