Development of a geopressured energy management information and analysis system in support of research planning. Final report, October 1983-September 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5927945
Geopressured and hydropressured (normally pressured) aquifers containing mobile gas in thin stringers, immobile gas, and gas in solution are known to occur in the Gulf Coast areas of Louisiana and Texas. If it should prove technically and economically feasible to produce this gas, this unconventional resource could make a substsntial contribution to the nation's gas supply. LSU's role in the development of this resource was to design and implement an energy management information and analysis system to support research planning for the co-production of gas and water concept. This basic research supports GRI's goal of stimulating the commercialization of gas recovery in the near-term. This study has also developed a database and information system on the problems and potential of unconventional gas resource options in the Gulf Coast and the assessment of each option's potential and remaining problems. This research resulted in the development of a research program designed to prove economic and technical feasibility of the co-production technique. Industry contacts were established and operator interest provided data on possible sites for a potential co-production field study. An information system was established to house all relevant data and documents generated during this research project.
