The Red Mountain Site, leased and operated by Resource Enterprises, Inc. is the focus of a six year, multi-well project with a main objective to develop, improve, evaluate, and communicate the technology required to produce gas from deeply buried coal. To understand the parameters controlling coalbed gas production, project efforts are focused on a single coal reservoir (the Cameo Coal D Seam) at the test site. The 2197-acre Red Mountain Site is located in the southeastern portion of the Piceance Basin in Township 9 South, Range 94 West, Mesa County, Colorado. One well was drilled at the Site this year, the 1 Deep Seam 32-2. The objective of the first well was to determine gas content and maximize core recovery. The primary objective of the next well, 2 Deep Seam 30-4, will be determination of reservoir permeability.
