Coalbed gas production contributes to energy diversification and effectively mitigates the risk of mine gas outbursts. However, the complexity and nonlinear characteristics of multifield coupled gas migration in deep coal seams pose significant challenges that traditional prediction and control methods struggle to address. This paper explores the effects of coupled multi-physics fields on gas migration and reviews a numerical simulation method that integrates fractal theory with discrete fracture network modeling, aiming to overcome the limitations of conventional models in capturing the interactions among seepage, heat transfer, stress distribution, and gas adsorption/desorption. The study highlights the interactions between fractures and pores, as well as the coupling effects between fluids flow, heat transfer, and solid mechanics. It further presents a more accurate prediction method to enhance the simulation accuracy of gas migration in deep coal seams.
