Sedimentology and Coalbed Methane Geology of Middle Jurassic Coal Measures in Juhugeng Mine, Qinghai Province

Article Preview

Abstract:

Field-based lithofacies in the Middle Jurassic coal measures of the Juhugeng coal mine area of Qinghai Province have been identified employing lithology, geometry and lateral facies relationships. The coal measures were deposited in a range of environments spanning from braided river, delta to lake, and economic coal seams have been formed in the deltaic interdistributary bay and fluvial flood basin environments. The coal has a rank ranging from gas coal to coking coal, and the vitrinite macerals have a relatively high content, being from 60%~80%. Cleats and fractures of coal reservoirs are well developed. The isothermal adsorption experiments reveal that coal in the Juhugeng mine has relatively low Langmuir volume and relatively high Langmuir pressure with low to medium absorbability. All these conditions are beneficial to the formation and preservation of the coalbed methane.
