Abstract
The grades of coalbed gas reserves and resources extents are mainly determined at the exploration stage and by a wildcat area. According to the numbers of development wells, the number of assessment parameters of reserves and resources extents, China’s coalbed gas could be classified into two kinds of resources extents and four types of geological reserves. Based on incomplete statistics, the total coalbed gas resources buried shallower than 2000m is about 326366×108 m3, within which the resources buried between 1000–2000m is about 215666×108 m3 and the resources shallower than 1000m is about 110700× 108 m3.
