Abstract

CBM reservoir is an unconventional natural gas reservoir with different characteristics from conventional natural gas reservoirs, especially the accumulation conditions and processes are unique. Studying the formation and distribution of CBM reservoirs is helpful to prediction of CBM reservoirs, and favorable for exploration and development of CBM.
