Abstract

The value of peak gas production and the time when it reaches are two important marks for coal bed methane (CBM) well’s gas production curve. This paper takes M CBM gas field of A country’s B basin as actual production instance. Firstly, based on the CBM producing mechanism, the existence reason of peak gas rate is analyzed; secondly, the influencing factors of the value of peak gas production and the time when it reaches is studied by numerical simulation method. And sensitivity order of the influencing factors is obtained. The study results indicate that: the value of peak gas production has positive correlation with properties: permeability, gas content, coal bed net pay and gas saturation; while negative correlation with desorption time and cleat porosity. And the strong to weak intensity of sensitivity is permeability, gas content, desorption time, net coal bed pay, cleat porosity, gas saturation. The time when peak gas production reaches is markedly influenced by the value desorption time and cleat porosity, the smaller of the two parameters, the shorter of the time when peak gas production reaches.
