Coalbed Methane Reservoir Properties Assessment and 3D Static Modeling for Sweet-Spot Prediction in Dahebian Block, Liupanshui Coal field, Guizhou Province, Southwestern China

Guizhou Province has many multi-layer, thin-thick coal seams; however, complex geology, incomplete reservoir characterization, and sweet-spot selection technology prevent large-scale coalbed methane (CBM) development. This study evaluates the CBM reservoir properties within the Dahebian block using logging data, coal sample analysis, and well-testing data and develops a 3D static reservoir properties model to analyze their spatial and vertical propagation. A sweet spot evaluation model was established using a multi-level fuzzy method based on 9 parameters extracted from a 3D static reservoir properties model. The coal measure has 22 coal seams, and seams >2 m thick have 2 or 3 thin non-coal layers intercalated. Coal seams 1
