This paper deals with the application of the method of petroleum reservoir-forming dynamics in the study of the coalbed methane reservoir-forming dynamic mechanism in the southern Qinshui Basin. On the basis of an analysis of the thermodynamic field, stress field and hydrodynamic field, the authors suggest that there are favorable conditions of hydrocarbon generation and accumulation in the area. The groundwater hydrodynamic field in the southern part of the Jincheng mining district is a catchment area. The...
