CBM Overview
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 successful CBM basins. This course is valuable for managers, investors, engineers, geologists, and technicians wanting an overview of CBM essentials without concentrating too heavily in any one area. This course is a condensed version of our 2-day course. The course presents the essential aspects of CBM including differences from conventional gas, its history, and insight into its future. 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

Reservoir Engineering - SPE Workshop
November 27-28, 2008
Brisbane, Australia
Producing natural gas from coal seam deposits is a process that continues to gain attention and significance around the world. Often referred to as Coal Seam Gas or Coal Bed Methane (CSG or CBM) development, the process is significantly different from conventional gas development but it still behaves in accordance to the basic laws of physics. As such, CSG production characteristics can be understood and even predicted when specific critical data is collected. There are five critical elements to successful CSG development: resource, permeability, water management, completion effectiveness, and gas treatment/transport/sales. This 2-day course analyzes the resource, permeability, and reservoir management issues.
Evaluating the performance or potential performance of CSG wells requires an understanding of the coal properties, coal distribution, and coal productivity characteristics for the specific development area. It is valuable for engineers, geologists, and technicians looking for evaluation ideas that will lead to improved development results and to engineers, managers, and investors involved in determining the financial value of CSG properties. This is a thorough discussion of CSG reservoir analysis from resource to simulation. The course presents the essential aspects of CSG including differences from conventional gas, CSG history, and insight into its future. The seminar covers the following topics:
- Unconventional Nature/Geologic Aspects/Coring & Logging
- Gas Contents & Isotherm/Permeability
- Water Management, Reservoir Issues/Simulation
- Well Completion Selection/Production Forecasting
- North American and Australian Basins
