Western cretaceous coal seam project economic and reserve evaluation of San Juan Basin, fruitland formation coalbed natural gas reservoirs. Topical report, January 1988-December 1991

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6962776
One of the objectives of the Western Cretaceous Coal Seam Project is to investigate and improve formation evaluation techniques for estimating the future performance of Fruitland Formation (Upper Cretaceous) coalbed natural gas reservoirs in the San Juan Basin of Colorado and New Mexico. This information is required to accurately estimate the future fluid production performance. One of the questions that is frequently asked is 'What reservoir properties are required for coalbed methane reservoir development.' An evaluation of the economic results of investment and sales of natural gas is required to fully answer this question. Two papers were prepared to address the methodology of economic evaluation. The first of these papers entitled Evaluation of Fruitland Coal Properties and Development Economics, San Juan Basin, Colorado and New Mexico, is included in Section 1 of this report. The second paper entitled Economic and Reserve Evaluation of Coalbed Methane Reservoirs is included in section 2.
