The application of a producibility model in defining coalbed methane exploration fairways and sweet spots

摘要

The Bureau of Economic Geology has developed a basin-scale coalbed mehtane producibility and exploration model based on a decade of Gas Research Institute-supported research performed in the San Juan.Sand Wash (Greater Green River),and Peceance Basins and on reconnaissance studies of several other producifng and porspective coal basins in the United States.In this paper we kdiscuss the application of the model in defining coalbed methane exploration fairways and sweet spots in these basins.
