Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000602

An abbreviation for coalbed methane, which is natural gas (primarily methane) adsorbed within coal seams. It is an unconventional gas resource extracted by drilling wells into coal beds and dewatering them to release the gas. CBM reservoirs are typically characterized by low permeability, requiring hydraulic fracturing for economic production.
