According to the different features of 3D elements in the coalbed methane (CBM) surface and underground drainage system in the coal mining area, and adopting the 3DMAX static modeling of the drainage equipment and the dynamic modeling of the geological body based on the borehole data, the 3D model of the CBM drainage element in coal mining area is realized. Applying the techniques such as the original data analysis to control the accuracy of the interpolation algorithm, and the blanking and cutting of the window, the visualized functions of the 3D elements such as the multiple-angle observation, magnification, roaming, rotation, translation, stack, peel, transparency and texture treatment are realized.

Due to the unique reservoir characteristics of the coalbed methane (CBM) in China, many technical problems have to be studied and solved in the development of horizontal wells for CBM. In this paper, based on the V-type wells, we have summarized the many techniques involved in Drilling and completion of horizontal well for CBM in Binchang mining area, such as leakage protection and sealing, geosteering while drilling, remote connection, variable density cementing, Coal seam cavitation, fiberglass casing running into the well, and etc. It is pointed out that the air foam under-balance drilling will be the development direction for coalbed methane drilling technology.
