Cooperative Research Project AMAX Oil and Gas Inc., Southern Ute No. 5-7 Well,San Juan Basin, Southwestern Colorado. Western Cretaceous Coal Seam Project. Topical Report, September 1992-January 28, 1994

摘要

A cooperative research effort was performed on one Fruitland coal gas well withAMAX Oil and Gas Inc. The well is located along the western margin of the San Juan basin where both hydraulic fracture and openhole cavity completion techniques have been used. The objective of the research effort was to: (1) determine the reservoir characteristics (gas content, sorption isotherm, absolute permeability, and reservoir pressure) of a shallow Fruitland coal interval, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the openhole cavity completion technique in the reservoir, and (3) compare the results of this openhole cavity completed well to offset hydraulic fracture completed wells.
