Geology and Potential Coal and Coalbed Methane Resource of the Tuya River Coal Basin
نویسنده
چکیده
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 their subcrop extent is arbitrarily delineated by adjacent high ground underlain by pre-Tertiary rocks. Many of these Tertiary basins contain

Evaluation 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...
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 ...
متن کاملNote on Desorption Results of Comox Formation Coals from the Courtenay Area, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
There has been increasing interest in the coalbed methane (CBM) potential in the coalfields of British Columbia and some of this interest has been directed at the Comox Basin on Vancouver Island. The CBM resource of the basin has been estimated by a number of authors using published coal data. Most recently by Ryan (2001) quotes a potential resource of 0.8 tcf. These estimates are indeed estima...
متن کاملComposite geochemical database for coalbed methane produced water quality in the Rocky Mountain region.
Coalbed methane (CBM) or coalbed natural gas (CBNG) is an unconventional natural gas resource with large reserves in the United States (US) and worldwide. Production is limited by challenges in the management of large volumes of produced water. Due to salinity of CBM produced water, it is commonly reinjected into the subsurface for disposal. Utilization of this nontraditional water source is hi...

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 t...
