Title: Quarterly review of methane from coal seams technology. Volume 10, Number 2, October 1992. Report for April-June 1992

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6780164

Research in the area of methane from coal seams is directed toward adapting and improving techniques for producing natural gas from coal and associated strata. Verification field experiments are being conducted at various sites to validate concepts for geology, geophysical diagnostics, completion techniques, fracturing, operations, and reservoir modeling. The reports summarize the results of recent exploration, testing, and production in the coal basins. In part because of the unprecedented drilling and development activity in the San Juan and Black Warrior basins, new wells have become too numerous to track individually. Consequently, the detailed well activity tables and basin index maps are no longer presented; only condensed statistical tables accompany selected basin narratives. For details of individual wells, readers are referred to publications of the commercial reporting services and to the respective state oil and gas regulatory agencies.
