Discussion on potential joint mining of coal measures gases resources in Ordos area,Inner Mongolia

In order to make full use of coal mineral resources rationally,and provide the government departments with a decision basis for coal-gas resources comingled exploration and exploitation in Ordos area of Inner Mongolia,based on the geological data collected from coal exploration and coalbed methane exploitation in Ordos area,this study ana- lyzed the geological background,structural characteristics and gas resources potential of the Ordos area by means of ge- ology survey,sample analysis and comprehensive research. Thus this paper expounds that coal seam gas resources in Ordos area have great potential. It has a unique combination mode of multilayer systems,composite,sources closely linked,mutual stacking,and good storage cover,and has the resource condition for the combined exploration and ex- ploitation. Also,the study has studied the advantages and disadvantages in Ordos area of Inner Mongolia,and put for- ward the suggestions and measures of the combined exploration and exploitation of coal seam gas.
