Well Evaluation for Coalbed Methane

Coalbed Methane Canister Desorption Techniques

The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch and the Geological Survey of Canada have initiated ajoint project to assess the coalbed-methane potential of coal deposits in British Columbia. This project entails participation with private industry to obtain fresh coal samples for desorption from exploration projects throughout the province. Samples are collected from the drill site and undergo a...

SPE 113410 Application of Coalbed Methane Water to Oil Recovery by Low Salinity Waterflooding

Development and production of coalbed methane involves the production of large volumes of water. The salinities and sodium adsorption ratios of coalbed methane (CBM) water from the Powder River Basin range from 370 to 1,940 ppm and 5.6 to 69 respectively. Surface discharge of CBM water can create serious environmental problems; subsurface injection is generally viewed as economically nonviable....

Permeability Variation Models for Unsaturated Coalbed Methane Reservoirs

A large number of models have been established to describe permeability variation with the depletion of reservoir pressure to date. However, no attempt has been made to draw enough attention to the difference in the effect of various factors on permeability variation in different production stages of unsaturated CoalBed Methane (CBM) reservoirs. This paper summarizes the existing and common per...

Anomaly Identification from Super-low Frequency Electromagnetic Data for the Coalbed Methane Detection

Natural source Super Low Frequency(SLF) electromagnetic prospecting methods have become an increasingly promising way in the resource detection. The capacity estimation of the reservoirs is of great importance to evaluate their exploitation potency. In this paper, we built a signal-estimate model for SLF electromagnetic signal and processed the monitored data with adaptive filter. The non-norma...
