Potential Coal and Coalbed Methane Resource of the Telkwa Coalfield, Central British Columbia (93l/11)
نویسنده
چکیده
sampling and desorption testing of fresh coal samples obtained from companies conducting exploration throughout the province. In addition methane adsorption isotherm tests arc: performed on some samples. During the summer of 1992 a project was undertaken to test coal seams intersected in the ongoing Manalta Coal Limited drilling program in the Telkwa coalfield. On-sitc activities consisted of the collection and desorption 01 five samples. This report presents the desorption result!; and coal quality data for the five samples and thret: adsorption isotherms. The coal resource, the potmtial coalbed methane resource and reserve for the Telkwa coalfield are also discussed.

Geology and Potential Coal and Coalbed Methane Resource of the Tuya River Coal Basin
This article forms pan of an ongoing study of the coal and coalbed methane resource potential of northwestern British Columbia. Other areas under study include the Bower basin coalfield, Telkwa coalfield and Tertiary coalfields of the Bulkley Valley. Tertiary sediments survive in many major watersheds in British Columbia. The sediments are generally not well consolidated, poorly exposed and the...

متن کاملEvaluation of coalbed methane potential in Parvadeh IV coal deposit in central Iran using a combination of MARS modeling and Kriging
Coalbed methane (CBM) plays an important role in coal mining safety and natural gas production. In this work, The CBM potential of B2 seam in Parvadeh IV coal deposit, in central Iran, was evaluated using a combination of local regression and geostatistical methods. As there were 30 sparse methane sampling points in the Parvadeh IV coal deposit, no valid variogram was achieved for the methane c...

There are two major coal-bearing formations in the Peace River Coalfield in northeastern British Columbia, The Gates and the Gething. The younger Gates Formation hosts to the two major coal mines that have operated in the area; therefore there is some coalbed methane (CBM) information available for the formation. In contrast there is very little CBM information available for the older Gething F...
متن کاملOverview of the Coalbed Methane Potential of Tertiary Coal Basins in the Interior of British Columbia
The interior of British Columbia contains a number of fault bounded Tertiary basins that contain coal (Figure 1). This paper brings together existing data that aids in assessing the coalbed methane (CBM) potential of the basins and presents new data on some of the basins. The CBM potential of the basins ranges from up to 1 tcf at Hat Creek to a few bcf at Coal River. In all cases the resources ...
