As a high-quality non-polluting energy source, coalbed methane is widely used in power generation, automobile fuel and other fields. Moreover, the concentration of coalbed methane can be effectively reduced by exploiting and utilizing coalbed methane so as to eliminate the gas accidents fundamentally. In the coal mining area, the exploiting of coalbed methane resources are closely related to the hydrogeological conditions. This paper discusses the controlling effect of hydrogeological conditions on coalbed methane exploitation mainly from chemical characteristics, the hydraulic connection between aquifers, groundwater recharge, runoff and discharge characteristics and so on. The results showed that the water-bearing zones were recharged by precipitation. The isotopic characteristics of the coalbed water, the taiyuan limestone aquifer, the ordovician limestone aquifer showed that the groundwater were ancient which are formed earlier and the coalbed water expressed a definite drift feature of D. There had a weak hydraulic interaction between different aquifers. Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3-, TDS are the monitoring index of drainage production water. If the hydrogeological problems are frequently occurred When mining, it is necessary to analyze the hydrogeological conditions objectively and study the relationship between them to make the coalbed methane scientifically exploitation to improve efficiency and quality of coalbed methane.
