==CBM Storage==

Trap mechanisms of CBM differ from conventional gas. In conventional gas, gas is trapped in the porosity of rock. But in CBM, methane is trapped in the microporosity of coal. This microporosity has the capacity to store six times more gas than conventional gas. This microporosity created when coal began coalification process. When temperature and pressure of coal increase, matrix in coal decrease create micro pore that trap methane. The increase [[fracture]] also making fracture or cleats in coal, so making permeability in coal ([[:File:Figure 2 trap mechanism.JPG|Figure 2]]).

==CBM Production==

==CBM Production==

Methane which trapped in microporosity can be production by dewatering. Dewatering is process to displace methane with using water. Methane pulled to well bore with decreasing formation pressure. Water than moving into well bore with methane inside of water. And then water and methane separated, methane will be save in storage and water will be injected again to subsurface. CBM has slow rate production. To increase production usually stimulated with hidrolic fracture to increase permeability of coal (Figure 3).
