Injection into coal seams for simultaneous CO(sub 2) mitigation and enhanced recovery of coalbed methane. Topical report, March 1995--March 1996

摘要

The overall objective of this task is to test the technical viability of injecting CO(sub 2) into the Fruitland Coal to displace methane from the coal and to mitigate CO(sub 2) emissions that are a consequence of primary coalbed methane production from surrounding wells in the area. To evaluate this technical viability, a field test was conducted and the test is being interpreted using data measured in WRI's laboratory, as well as using Amoco's state-of-the-art coalbed methane simulator. Also, a second pilot of the process is being evaluated using the simulator. Ultimately, the technology developed will be applied to a Wyoming coal.
