Abstract：In recent years, the “new energy mineral investigation project” was carried out by the Oil & Gas Survey Center of China Geological Survey. According to the overall deployment, the project members have carried out a series of work, including the coalbed methane geological survey in West Guizhou, South Sichuan, South Junggar Basin of Xinjiang and Sanjiang Basin of Northeast China, the oil sands and oil shale geological survey in the west slope of Songliao Basin and the northern margin of Qaidam Basin, and the potential survey, comprehensive evaluation and information system construction of special coal resources (liquefaction and gasification). A large amount of basic data have been obtained and a series of breakthroughs and important progresses have been acquired, such as well Chuangaocan-1 and well Yangmeican-1. Based on these work, the authors have grasped preliminarily the status of the coalbed methane, oil shale, oil sand and other unconventional oil and gas resources and the special coal resources in China. These achievements, acquired in this project, have an important impact on the field of coalbed methane. They have boosted the confidence in the exploration and development of coalbed methane and promoted a deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and geological survey. And they have also improved the development of unconventional oil and gas subject.
