Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Coalbed Gas

"Cement gas (coal gas) development and utilization of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" came late, and finally rushed to be released before New Year's Day.

On the last day of 2011, on December 31st, the National Energy Administration formally issued the “12th Five-Year Plan for the Development and Utilization of Coalbed Methane (Coal Mine Gas)” (hereinafter referred to as “Planning”). The plan proposes that in 2015 China's coalbed methane (coal mine methane) target production is 30 billion cubic meters.

Of which 16 billion cubic meters of ground development, the full use of the foundation, coal mining gas drainage 14 billion cubic meters, utilization of more than 60%, ground development and underground drainage investment of 116.6 billion yuan; built Qinshui Basin, the eastern edge of the Ordos Basin two CBM industrialization base. At present, the above two areas are areas with relatively mature development conditions.

Sun Maoyuan, a member of the National Energy Experts Advisory Committee who participated in the planning, and former chairman of China Coal, said that the realization of planning goals requires all parties to work harder and introduce more supportive policies.

Investment exceeds 100 billion yuan As of 2010, China's coalbed methane production was only 1.5 billion cubic meters and the volume of commodities was 1.2 billion cubic meters. Based on this calculation, the target production of CBM in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” is 20 times of the actual output in 2010.

Previously on December 19, 2011, Zoomlion and Asian-American Continental Coalbed Methane Co., Ltd. announced that the overall development plan for exploitation of CBM resources in the Panzhuang block of Jincheng, Shanxi Province, has been formally approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. The approval marked that the Panzhuang Project had become China's first Sino-foreign cooperative CBM project that had officially entered commercial development, and it had already shown signs of increasing coalbed methane production by the country.

According to the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration, in 2010, the coalbed methane production capacity was 3.1 billion cubic meters and the output was 1.5 billion cubic meters. From the data, more than half of the production capacity is idle.

"I am not optimistic about the actual promotion of coal mining methane planning for mining activities. For many years, CBM mining has been paralyzed by interests and there has been no progress." An engineer who worked in the petroleum system for a long time and then retired in a private oil service company told this newspaper. The reporter said.

To sum up, a planned investment for CBM extraction amounted to 116.6 billion yuan.

With regard to exploration and development, it is necessary to invest a lot of capital. Wei Pengyuan, deputy director of the Department of Oil and Gas under the State Energy Administration, said: “The geographic location is not the same. The conditions for the occurrence of coal seams are not the same and the depth of the deposit is not the same. It is not easy to answer with quantification. Like some areas in Hunan, The effect of gas production from CBM wells is even worse, and the risk of exploration and development in this area must be determined based on geographical location.” However, he did not disclose specific cost figures.

The unclear mineral rights are the obstacles to the prospects for CBM exploration. At present, the outside world is constrained by the unclear ownership of the mineral rights and pipeline problems.

Wei Pengyuan stated that some experts and some scientific research units have made suggestions on how to combine the two powers (coal and coal bed gas exploitation rights) because there is gas and there is gas. There is a certain problem in the separation of the two. According to report, the current unclear mineral rights have become one of the important factors that hinder the development of coalbed methane.

However, Sun Maoyuan told reporters that the differences in mineral rights are caused by the characteristics of coal and coalbed methane in China. First, coal has a pillar position in energy consumption; second, China's coalbed methane is mostly found in tectonic coal, and mining is difficult.

“If the two are combined, the future prospects for mining are not good,” Sun Maoyuan analyzed. “U.S. coalbed methane is exploited by coal to enable coalbed methane, but China’s coal is difficult to implement because of its position in resource consumption. Coal is not conducive to the development of coalbed methane."

At present, more than 10 companies, including CNPC, CNOOC and other state-owned enterprise giants, as well as China National Coal Mine Methane Corp., which is specifically established by the state, and Jinmei Coal Group and Henan Coalbed Methane Company, are allowed to participate in CBM mining.

Sun Maoyuan said: “The separate listing of coalbed methane and the establishment of the plan itself are a source of gratification to the industry and demonstrate the government’s attitude. Implementation of this plan requires the efforts of governments at all levels. The goal of 30 billion cubic meters can be achieved.”

The plan proposes that coal-bed methane should be mainly transported by pipelines and be used nearby, and the remaining gas be exported. It is unclear who is responsible for the construction of the transmission pipeline between regions, and the relationship with the current natural gas pipeline is not clear.
