Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is unconventional natural gas which come from coal. CBM can be used as energy alternative beside hidrocarbon. Coal that used as source CBM provides 25% world energy. CBM resources predicted about 9000 TCF, mainly in North America (3000 TCF) and other country former Soviet Union (4000 TCF).

CBM fistly used around coal mining. Coal mines can simultaneoustly produce methane and consume it by generating electricity. The electricty can be used to operate many instrument in around coal mining. Then electicity from CBM can be selling to power supplier for cost recovery in coal mines.
 
  
==Origin of Coal==
+
Reservoir rock have many lithologies like sandstones, limestones, granitic, tuff, and shale. Reservoir filled by hydrocarbon on fracture or pores. All reservoir hydrocarbon content connate water . some reservoir content connate water in the micropore that content 10-60% from the pores volume.

Coal is sedimentary rock which rich organic material that compaction with coalification process. Coal construct in environment with low oxygen content, such as swamp or bogs. Coal easily known because has black colour. Furthermore, if saw under microschope will be seen remain plant that not fully decay, such as leaves and root.
 
  
Initially coal formation construct when acumulation plant remains with an-oxic condition, so plant can not decaying. The environment that poor with oxygen is swamp. Instead, the plants are attacked by bacteria that partly decompose th organic material and liberate oxygen and hydrogen. When that elemen come out, the percentage of carbon increase. Bacteria cannot fully decompose organic material because they are destroyed by acids liberated from plants.<ref>Lutgens et al. 2012. ''Essential of Geology''. USA: Pearson Prentice Hall</ref>
+
Information about scale factor needed to conceptualized reservoir.  Scale factor can differences by microscopic; relates to pores and sand grains, macroscopic; relates to conventional core-plug scale, megascopic relates to the scale of grid-blocks in simulation models, and gigascopic relates to regional scale.  
  
Plant remains acumulation built a peat which plant material easily known. Then peat slowly change to lignite (brown coal), which is early stage of coal formation. Because burial condition, it make pressure and temperature increase. This increases make chemical reaction, this reaction making coal losing water and gas and increasing carbon concentration. Lignite then become bituminus coal which have higher carbon concentration. If pressure and temperature increase coal bituminus become antracite, black coal with higest carbon concentration.  
+
==Homogeneity and heterogeneity==
 +
 +
Homogeneity factor consist uniform material. Homogeneity factor is similar depositional environment, grain distribution is relatively similar, and similar kind of intensity diagenesa. While the heterogeneity factors is changes in depositional environment, sedimentary material, grain size distribution, and facies, also different type and intensity of diagenesis processes.  
  
Coal classified by degree of coalification (increasing organic carbon content) in terms coal rank (Table 1). Lignite and sub bituminus are low rank coal with low carbon content. Bituminus is midde rank and the higgest rank coal are known as antracite which has highest carbon concentration. <ref>Nichols, Gary. 2009. ''Sedimentology and Stratigraphy''.

+
Pore structure varies with the size, shape, and composition of natural grains, as well as fractures. Geometry ranging from <1 micron to 100 micron . Pore characteristic will determine oil recovery method.
  
==Gas in CBM==
+
==Reservoir pressure==
Most CBM has been produced by microbial, thermal, or possibly catalytic degradation of organic material present in coal. CBM is mainly composed of methane (CH4) with variable additions of carbon dioxide (CO2), elemental nitrogen (N2), and heavier hydrocarbon, such as ethane (C2H6), and trace of propane (C3H8) and butanes (C4H10).<ref>Thakur et al. 2014. ''Coal Bed Methane – from Prospect to Pipeline''.Elsevier</ref>
 
  
==CBM Storage==
+
Fluid in reservoir have hydrostatic pressure that associated reservoir system. Pressure from overburden rock also press the pore and increase the fluid pressure.  
Trap mecanism of CBM different with gas conventional. In gas conventional, gas trap in porosity of rock. But in CBM, methane trap in microporosity of coal. This microporosity have capasity to store gas six times more 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 (Figure 2).

==CBM Production==
+
==Temperature reservoir==
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).

==Future CBM==
+
Temperature at some depth comes from gradient geothermal  and it is directly proportional to the depth.
CBM in future has many economic potential. It can be used to generate electricity. Not only around the coal mining site but also can be pipelined for utility and industrial use. Electricity can be selling to power supplier to be piped to other town. Some of CBM potential is already realized.

Scale factor can differences by microscopic; relates to pores and sand grains, macroscopic; relates to conventional core-plug scale, megascopic relates to the scale of grid-blocks in simulation models, and gigascopic relates to regional scale.

Homogeneity and heterogeneity

Homogeneity factor consist uniform material. Homogeneity factor is similar depositional environment, grain distribution is relatively similar, and similar kind of intensity diagenesa. While the heterogeneity factors is changes in depositional environment, sedimentary material, grain size distribution, and facies, also different type and intensity of diagenesis processes.

Pore structure and geometry

Pore structure varies with the size, shape, and composition of natural grains, as well as fractures. Geometry ranging from <1 micron to 100 micron . Pore characteristic will determine oil recovery method.
