Methane recovery from Coalbeds Project. Phase II report and annual report, 1979
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5368235
Work under the TRW Methane Recovery from Coalbeds Project (MRCP) is defined by three discrete tasks: (1) to provide engineering and technical assistance to the methane from Coalbeds Project in planning, review and analysis of technical proposals, documentation and technical transfer and project evaluation; (2) to provide technical assistance and subcontracting support for resource delineation activities. The objectives of the resource delineation effort are threefold: to estimate more reliably the methane resources contained in the nation's coalbeds; to estimate the recoverable resource; and to determine exploration and production technologies that allow extrapolation from test sites to larger resource areas. Field work in this area is given in the report; (3) to provide design/development analyses, implementation, and evaluations of technology test projects: implementation of a test to demonstrate the recovery of methane from multiple horizontal wells in an active mine and the utilization of the gas for the production of LNG or other purposes; implementation of a test to demonstrate the feasibility of recovering methane from multiple production zones in a single well and utilizing the gas in a local distribution system pipeline; and implementation of a test to demonstrate the feasibility of recovering methane from multiple, vertically drilled wells with multiple production zones in unminable anthracite coal and utilizing the gas by pipeline injection.
