GRNTI: 52.13.37 ANALYSIS OF FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN COALBED METHANE EXTRACTION: ANALYSIS OF FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN COALBED METHANE EXTRACTION

The article describes the amount of methane coming from the coal seams of different states, as well as the methods of methane production in each country. There are about 70 countries in the coal basins of the world, more than 40 of which produce methane in some way. Some countries have successfully applied various technologies for extracting methane from coal seams. About 20 countries of the world actively accept and use drilling for methane production. The largest amount of coal methane is concentrated in deposits located in Russia, the USA, China, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Poland, Germany, Great Britain, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. In particular, the most studied methane resources are still in the USA, Canada and Australia.

Analyzing the conditions of geological formation of methane in different countries of the world, we can talk about the economic efficiency of the extraction of this gas in the Karaganda coal basin. The experience of other countries testifies to the extraction of methane in similar conditions of coal formation.
