Deep Coal Seams: An Overlooked Source for Long-Term Natural Gas Supplies

Abstract: Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the long term potential of natural gas. Studies have included resources that range from conventional gas in Stratigraphie traps to unconventional gas locked in hydrates. However, these studies have overlooked one large and potentially productive gas resource — the methane stored in deep coal seams. Currently, the conventional wisdom is that coals below 5.0 feet will be extremely low in permeability and thus unproductive. This viewpoint stems f… Show more
