The Multiple Coal Seams Completion Project is a joint venture, investigating the drilling, completion, testing, stimulation, and production procedures for the economic production of methane from multiple coal seams. The report summarizes research conducted at Rock Creek to date. Much geologic and reservoir characterization of the project site has been performed to provide a basis for stimulation design, production analysis and reservoir testing. Geologic characterization included stratigraphic and structural evaluation along with coal cleat, rock joint, seam thickness, coal methane content, coal chemistry and coal petrography studies. Extensive reservoir data has been collected from permeability testing, hydrologic testing, stress testing, production and pressure monitoring, and a gas and water analysis program. Stimulation design and post testment diagnostics have been performed to optimize stimulation designs.
