Mineral Technology
The subsoils of reservoired and prospective coal basins focus not only a large part of the world ' s coal resources, but also their satellites, methane, whose resources are commensurate with the natural gas resources of the world. The concentration of methane in the mixture of natural gases of the coal plates is between 80 and 98 per cent.
The scientifically sound assessment of the role of coal plastics as the largest methane deposits in the Earth ' s crust presents new prospects for increasing hydrocarbon resources. The methane, which is the most dangerous coal satellite, is becoming a valuable mineral that is subject to self-propelled mining or mining through integrated phase-out of gasoline coal deposits.
Specificity of the development of methanocarbon deposits
There are two fundamentally different ways of extracting coal methane: mine (in active mine fields) and boreholes.
The stack is an integral part of underground coal mining technology - degassation. Methane output is small, and gas is used mainly for its own needs by coal-mining enterprises directly in the coal mining area.
The boredom is industrial. Methane is no longer considered as a satellite product for coal mining, but as an independent mineral. The development of industrial methane methane methane methane methane is carried out with the use of specific technologies for the intensification of gas discharges of plastics (the most common options are hydro-plastic discharge, pumping through the air well or air-to-air mixture, exposure to the current plate).
It should be noted that not all coals are suitable for methane production. All right, long-fashioned thunder coals are poor methane. The high concentration of the gas differs from the carbon-intratecy, but it cannot be extracted due to the high density and extremely low permeability of the deposit. The most promising for methane production is coal, which is intermediate between boilers and antracytes. It is the coal that lies in the Kuzbass where, as part of the mandate of the President of the Russian Federation, Gazprom is actively involved in the implementation of an innovative coal gas project.
