Sinopsis

This publication on coalbed gas is multidisciplinary in scope and covers a wide range of aspects from exploration through production, resource calculations, emissions, and regulatory processes. One part of this volume also deals with qualifying and quantifying oil generation from coal. Furthermore, quality and quantity of oil and gas generation from coals as a function of heating mode is reported. New models for oil and gas generation in coal seams by convective heat transfer through hydrothermal circulation in basins are presented.

Reseña del editor

Coalbed gas has been considered a hazard since the early 19th century when the first mine gas explosions occurred in the United States in 1810 and France in 1845. In eastern Australia methane-related mine disasters occurred late in the 19th century with hundreds of lives lost in New South Wales, and as recently as 1995 in Queensland's Bowen Basin. Ventilation and gas drainage technologies are now in practice. However, coalbed methane recently is becoming more recognized as a potential source of energy; rather than emitting this gas to the atmosphere during drainage of gassy mines it can be captured and utilized. Both economic and environmental concerns have sparked this impetus to capture coalbed methane. The number of methane utilization projects has increased in the United States in recent years as a result, to a large extent, of development in technology in methane recovery from coal seams. Between 1994 and 1997, the number of mines in Alabama, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia recovering and utilizing methane increased from 1 0 to 17. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that close to 49 billion cubic feet (Bet) of methane was recovered in 1996, meaning that this amount was not released into the atmosphere. It is estimated that in the same year total emissions of methane equaled 45. 7 Bcf. Other coal mines are being investigated at present, many ofwhich appear to be promising for the development of cost-effective gas recovery.

Reseña del editor

This special publication on coalbed gas is multidisciplinary in scope and covers a wide range of aspects from exploration through production, resource calculations, emissions, and regulatory processes. The contributions in this book result from the International Conference on Coal Seam Gas and Oil, held in Queensland, Australia, on 23-25 March, 1998. One part of this volume also deals with qualifying and quantifying oil generation from coal. Furthermore, quality and quantity of oil and gas generation from coals as a function of heating mode is reported. New models for oil and gas generation in coal seams by convective heat transfer through hydrothermal circulation in basins are presented in this volume for the first time. It is for audiences: this book will be an important source of information for geologists and petroleum geologists, geochemists, and fossil fuel engineers, as well as regulators. It is also of interest for graduate students in geology and mining.
