Coal rock pores are the space in which coalbed gas is stored and flows. Accurately characterizing the pore structure of coalbed gas is the foundation of coalbed gas reserve assessment and production forecasting. Traditional experimental methods are unable to characterize the multi-scale pore structure characteristics of coal rock. In this paper, a multi-scale pore structure characterization method is proposed by coupling various experimental methods, including low-pressure nitrogen gas adsorption experiments, X-ray computed tomography (XCT) imaging technology, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using Zhengzhuang coalbed gas as an example, the micro-pore structure of coalbed gas reservoirs is characterized and depicted from a multi-scale perspective. The results indicate that a single experimental approach can only partially reveal the microstructure of coal rock pores. The combined use of multiple methods can accurately reveal the full-scale microstructure of coal rock pores. The pore structure of the experimental coal rock samples exhibits multi-scale characteristics, with a complex variety of pore types, including inorganic pores, organic pores, and fractures. Organic pores are predominant, with a small number of inorganic pores, and their sizes range from 2 nm to 50 μm. Mineral particles and fractures are observed at both the nanoscale and microscale, exhibiting typical multi-scale characteristics, with quartz being the predominant mineral. Full article
