Abstract

Abundant field experiments have showed that the super low frequency (SLF) electromagnetic detector is sensitive to Coalbed Methane. The signal curves collected by the SLF electromagnetic detector show high amplitude anomalies in the Coalbed Methane enrichment areas. Based on this finding, we choose the Qinshui basin as study area, and take advantage of the field data to seeking the coupleing relationship between the SLF electromagnetic data and Coalbed Methane gas content. The results show that the passive super-low frequency electromagnetic detection technology can effectively monitor the longer time span dynamic of Coalbed Methane gas content.
