The development of a geopressured energy management information and analysis system in support of research planning: Phase 1. Annual report Mar 80-Jul 81

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6666315
Geopressured and normally pressured aquifers containing mobile gas in thin stringers, immobile gas, and gas in solution are known to occur in the Gulf Coast area of Louisiana and Texas. If it should prove technically and economically feasible to produce this gas, this unconventional resource could make a substantial contribution to the nation's gas supply. It was the purpose of this study to develop an information system on the problems and potential of this resource as well as what is known about unconventional gas production in the Gulf Coast, and to use this information to formulate a research program to prove economic and technical feasibility. The research program includes 22 separate projects in 4 different programs. The process by which the research program was formulated, intermediate results and the program itself are summarized in this report.
