Correct. Tight Gas and Gas Hydrates are basically Natural Gas (that is, Methane). CBM is also Methane - more pure than Natural Gas. Main components of Syngas are Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide.

Tight Gas and CBM are different. Tight Gas is simply Natural Gas locked in hrs non-porous rocks. These rocks are older and have gone recrystallisation - so they tightly lock up the gas .
