Deep coal seams: Potential for long-term natural gas supplies
Journal Article
·
· JPT, Journal of Petroleum Technology
This paper reviews some of the past evidence which limited the potential for natural gas extraction from coal seams at depths of greater than 5,000 feet. Previous studies had shown that below this depth, the coal fracture permeability was essentially non-existent and therefore would not yield any significant quantities of natural gas. This paper reviews some of the assumptions used to calculated stresses and resulting deformations in coal seams at depths and the reasons such deep coals should be reassessed.
