This report describes the Deep Coal Seam Project, a field-oriented RandD project with the objective to develop, improve, evaluate and communicate the technology required to produce gas from deeply buried coal seams with reduced uncertainty and increased economic return. The project site (Red Mountain Site), is located in the Piceance Basin, approximately 50 miles east of Grand Junction, Colorado. Two coalbed methane wells were drilled at the project site and extensive field testing was performed. The report includes the results of engineering analyses and field experience from activities conducted at the Deep Coal Seam Project site. The report is directed at providing information, insight, and recommendations to the coalbed-methane gas developer concerning drilling, cleaning, and well testing configuration methods for coalbed methane wells.
