CBM Overview

Fall 2009 TBD             Golden, CO  

Coalbed Methane (CBM) has become a significant portion of the North America gas supply. There are many differences between CBM and more conventional reservoirs but the basic laws of physics still apply to both. There are five critical elements for a successful CBM development: resource, permeability, water management, completion effectiveness, and gas treatment/transport/sales.

This 1-day course discusses these five elements and looks at how they impacted results is successfulCBM basins. This course is valuable for managers, investors, engineers, geologists, and technicians wanting an overview ofCBM essentials without concentrating too heavily in any one area. This course is a condensed version of our 2-day course. Thecourse presents the essential aspects of CBM including differences from conventional gas, its history, and insight into itsfuture. The seminar covers the following topics:

  • Unconventional Nature
  • Reservoir
    • Geology
    • Resource
    • Isotherm
    • Permeability
    • Pressure Training
    • Water Management
  • North America Basins
  • Drilling
  • Completion
  • Operations
    • Production Analysis
    • Artificial Lift
    • Water Management
    • Gas Facilities

Coal Seam Methane Drilling & Completions

May 25, 2009      Brisbane, Australia      $1315 AUD

Coal Seam Methane (CSM) drilling and completion methods of successful CSM projects vary widely. It is important to understand the pros and cons of the different techniques in order to select the best procedures. It is often necessary to evaluate a number of methods to optimize cost and performance.

Specific topics to be covered in this 1-day workshop include:

  • Drilling Objectives, Practices and Types
  • Coal Properties and Fracture Theory
  • Completion Types and Design
  • Well Planning
  • Completion Treatments (job pumping)
  • Completion Practices and Objectives
  • Horizontal Wells
  • Treatment Evaluation
