First-of-a-Kind Field Test for Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery with Simultaneous CO2 Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. These wells have been producing coalbed methane and water since 2004. Monitoring the quality of groundwater and stream water.

Montana State University , Bozeman, Mont. Optimized rock-fluid models will incorporate the seismic signatures of (1) saturation scales and free versus dissolved gas in a CO 2 -water mixture, (2) pore pressure changes, and (3) CO 2 -induced chemical changes to the host rock.
