The commingled exploitation of coal measure reservoirs has become the main trend in the development of coalbed methane (CBM) in the central and southern Qinshui Basin. In fact, the porosity and permeability (P&P) of coal measure reservoirs and the evolution of their stress sensitivity are a focus of the basic theory of commingling exploitation. In this study, the coal measure reservoirs in this area are taken as the research object, and the P&P characteristics and stress sensitivity of coal measure reservoirs under different overburden pressure conditions were investigated by P&P experiments on coal, sandstone, and mudstone. The results show that the P&P decreases as a negative exponential function with the increase in effective stress, and the initial porosity and initial permeability of coal are both significantly higher than those of mudstone and sandstone. Besides, the permeability stress sensitivity coefficients of coal, mudstone, and sandstone all decline with a wavy trend with the increase in effective stress. Coal is more sensitive to stress than mudstone and sandstone in the medium and low pressure stages (Pc<5 MPa), while their stress sensitivities tend to become equal in the medium and high pressure stages (Pc>5 MPa). Since the type of coal rich in organic matter is soft rock, it is more susceptible to damage and deformation in the medium and low pressure state (Pc<5 MPa). In contrast, sandstone and mudstone contain more brittle minerals such as cuttings, quartz, and clay minerals, which are, in general, more resistant to deformation, and are less sensitive than coal at the medium and low pressure stages. Finally, a stress sensitivity model based on the Langmuir equation was proposed in this study. With the aid of the model, the stress sensitivities of porosity and permeability of coal, sandstone, and mudstone were analyzed accurately.
