Methane adsorption/desorption and permeability measurements are critical for evaluating reserves and production potential in coalbed methane (CBM) extraction. The varying temperature and stress in CBM wells have an impact on these characteristics. To understand these effects, take the Wenjiaba mining area and the Qinglong mining area in Guizhou, China, as the research objects, which are called WJB and QL for short. Characterizing the coal's surface area and pore structure using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption is essential for methane flow and storage. The coal's adsorptive capacity under in situ conditions was revealed by isothermal methane adsorption tests conducted at pressures ranging from 0 to 18 MPa at different temperatures. Triaxial stress-controlled adsorption experiments simulated the impact of effective stress on methane adsorption. Stress-permeability tests evaluated the stress sensitivity and its effect on the coal's methane transmission ability, a key factor in CBM well producibility. The results showed that increased temperature reduced adsorption capacity for WJB and QL coals by 14.2% and 16.3%, respectively, while desorption rates and diffusion coefficients increased, suggesting that higher temperatures enhance desorption and diffusion. However, higher coal ranks can hinder desorption. Effective stress application led to over a 90% decrease in both adsorption capacity and permeability, emphasizing the need for stress management in CBM extraction. These insights provide a theoretical framework for the interplay between coal's pore structure, adsorption/desorption properties, and permeability under different stress and temperature conditions, guiding the optimization of CBM extraction strategies for efficient and sustainable methane recovery.
