Multistrata exploration and production study
The project objective is to verify a development strategy for high grading areas of multistrate (shallow gas sands and coalbeds) potential in southern West Virginia and test it in up to five wells. Activities for the Multistrata Project began in Fiscal Year 1993 with the placement of the three Test Wells into production full force. By turning all three wells in line October 1, 1992, gas began flowing as designed by the agreements negotiated in Fiscal Year 1992. All the parties involved began to see tangible results as the gas moved from the College`s gathering lines into the systems of Ramco, Columbia, and Mountaineer Gas Companies. The gas production overall from the three Project Test Wells has been exceptional. Work is currently underway which will allow for enhanced production from the College wells. This involves installation of a two-phase, 20 hp gas operated compressor into the main sales line. The College of West Virginia gathering system will be tied directly into a system owned by another local producer and will necessitate the laying of 700 feet of additional pipeline. The compressor will be equipped to suction 1 psi and discharge at 75 psi for delivery of the College`s gas into the host system.
