Title: Definitional mission for coal-bed-methane project in Turkey. Export trade information

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7150477

A Trade and Development Program (TDP) sponsored Definitional Mission visited Turkey during June 23 - July 1, 1990. The purpose of the mission was to review Turkey's coalbed methane resources and to assess the needs of Turkey to develop these resources. The mission recommends TDP should encourage the Turkish Government to conduct this initial sampling study to assess the gas content in the Turkish coal. After this study is completed, and if the gas content of the coal indicates the potential for a large gas recovery and utilization project, a detailed feasibility study should be considered. This more detailed feasibility study may be a candidate for TDP funding as this project may present opportunities for technology transfer from the U.S. to Turkey, albeit with strong competition from the German industry.
