Abstract

The authors evaluate the influence exerted by tectonic structure on methane content patterns in QD site in the Qinshui Coal Basin. The gas flow rate versus bottomhole–fault distance and the minimum bottomhole–fault distances for profitable methane production are determined. The obtained results are applicable to methane well pattern design in the test site.
