Abstract

See full text

A method for the in-situ extraction of gas from coal seams is provided. Flow paths are produced in gas-containing coal by opening up the structure of the coal by introducing into a bore hole that is sunk into the coal at least one gas and/or liquid under pressure over a prolonged period of time at a pressure that is less than the lowest principal stress determined in a respective seam layer from which gas is to be extracted. The introduction into the bore hole is carried out with a cyclically fluctuating pressure. Gas is subsequently extracted via the bore hole.
