Effects of a no-proppant foam stimulation treatment on a coal-seam degasification borehole
Journal Article

· J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
A vertical borehole drilled into a friable coal seam was stimulated by using 53,000 gal (200.6 m/sup 3/) of foam. Proppant materials were omitted from the treatment fluids and colored, fluorescent pigments were included. The borehole produced 6.6 MMcf (0.187*10/sup 6/ m/sup 3/) of methane at an average rate of 49 Mcf/D (1390 m/sup 3//d) during its 4.5-month lifetime. After the wellbore was mined through, both vertical and horizontal fracture surfaces were found decorated with fluorescent material. No significant penetration of the fluid into the overlying strata was found. 5 refs.
