To produce coal seam gas (CSG), wells are drilled into underground coal seams, bringing water (CSG water) from the seams to the surface. This process reduces pressure in the seams which allows CSG to be released. The quality of CSG water quality varies greatly, however it is generally rich in salts and other minerals.
The major steps for this drilling and completion technique are. Drilling the production hole to the top of the coal seam. Running and cementing casing. Drilling a hole through the coal seam. Increasing the diameter of the hole by a technique known as underreaming (Fig. 1)
Unconventional contingent gas reserves for Australia, other than coal seam gas, are reported from an insitu coal gasification demonstration plant at Leigh Creek in South Australia. The total 2P reported reserves of syngas for the Leigh Creek Energy Project in the Telford Basin are 1,153 PJ ( Tcf) (Table 3).
Coal seam gas is a natural gas held in coal seams under pressure by groundwater. Coal seam gas wells release the gas by reducing the pressure through groundwater extraction. Extracted water and gas is diverted to surface infrastructure treatment and processing plants (Figure 1). The extracted water is termed 'coproduced water' (also ...
Gas extraction is the main method to reduce gas content and eliminate gas accidents, and due to the influence of mining stress in the coal seam mining process, there are elastic damage zones and plastic damage zones of coal seams [3, 7]. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of gas extraction, it is necessary to study the elastic ...
Coalbed methane ( CBM or coalbed methane ), [1] coalbed gas, or coal seam gas ( CSG [1]) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. [2] In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The term refers to methane absorbed into the solid matrix of the coal.
Pad Drilling (Surat Basin) The majority of Arrow Energy's coal seams have Total Vertical Depths of less than 900 m and as shallow as 200 m. These shallow depths create a problem when planning well spacing for gas drainage. The optimum spacing required for vertical wells is between 700 and 1200 meters.
In the process of coal seam drilling and gas drainage, the gas pressure around the coal seam and the stress of the coal and rock mass change, resulting in a change in coal porosity. A mechanically overexcavated cavity diameter of 1200 mm with a length of 2 m was selected to investigate the influence of the initial porosity on the gas drainage ...

List of Pros of Coal Seam Gas. 1. It is Effective. There is no doubt that coal seam gas actually works. Unlike solar power or wind turbines, coal seam gas is very costeffective and tremendously efficient. This means that rather than having to rely on a method that is very expensive or not guaranteed to work, we can simply use coal seam gas and ...
Then the gas flow rate changes gradually, which can be regarded as an inefficient mass transfer stage. Therefore, when there is a lateral heterogeneity in permeability during CBM well development (Fig. 6), the gas supply unit of coal is uneven, which is a process of the gas supply unit moving back to the far end of the well. The physical ...
The coal and rock mass will produce rapid deformation, crack or fracture change with the action of high stress, and the gas stored in the coal seam will gush out to the working face along the coal seam under the action of the pressure gradient during the tunneling process. These phenomena may produce signals such as AE, EMR, or infrasound.
Coal seam gas is primarily made up of methane gas, generally 9598%. This gas is also called coal bed methane (CBM) if extracted from a coal deposit as unconventional natural gas for economic purposes. ... During the coalification process, methane gas is captured in the coal seams and later released during coal mining operations. Coal bed ...
The measurement of gas content in coal seam by means of indirect method involves heavy workload, long period, high cost and complicated operation and a proneness of negative values in the process of measuring gas absorption constant. To address these problems, the gas basic parameters and coal quality indexes of 90 coal samples from 90 coal mines in 13 provinces of China are determined ...

The selection of proppants is critical in the coal seam gas extraction process, where the softer coal rock surface restricts the use of high strength proppants due to its vulnerability of embedding into the surface. 2) coal properties elastic modulus of coal is the most important factor deciding the proppant behaviour in the extraction ...
Coalbed methane (CBM), is also known as coalbed gas and coal seam gas/methane (CSG/CSM), which are terms referring to the unconventional natural gas resource stored in coal beds and are expected to be an important energy resource of global significance in the future (Rightmire 1984; Rice 1993; Flores 1998, 2013; Palmer 2010; Yang and Liu 2021). ...
Natural cavitation begins by drilling a targeted coal seam with air, gas, or mist. The bit is then lifted above the seam and the well is shut in. ... Jetting cavitation uses hydraulic pressure to direct a jet of gas and water directly toward the coal face. This process may be performed to facilitate a cavity when other cavitation methods have ...
Coal seam gas pressure is a key parameter of gas accident control and gas drainage. At present, there are some problems in field pressure measurement, such as long period, and there is often a need to drill more holes to ensure the reliability of pressure measurement.
To study the differences between various gas injection sources in the process of coal seam methane replacement, experimental research was conducted to study the influences of different gas injection sources and gas injection ratios on coal seam methane replacement by considering the strong adsorption gas CO 2 and the weak adsorption gas N experimental results show that the temperature ...
Exploration of alternative energy resources has become essential to fulfill an everincreasing energy demand.

The Conversation.. A study from 2017 found that air pollution from CSG mining could pose a significant threat to public health, particularly in terms of respiratory diseases A Ali, V Strezov, P Davies, I Wright (2017, Jul 21). Environmental impact of coal mining and coal seam gas production on surface water quality in the Sydney basin, Australia.
The highest gas pressure and the maximum gas content in the coal seam were MPa and m 3 /t, respectively. There was a high coal and gas outburst hazard in the coal seam and, therefore, it was necessary to improve the elaborate identification and realtime monitoring on the outbursthazardous zones in the coal seam.
In the coal and gas outburst process, considerable amounts of coal and gas may be violently ejected, which potentially results in significant harm. In addition, the main component of coal seam gas is methane, and the greenhouse effect of methane is 28 times that of carbon dioxide (Wu et al. 2020; Booth et al. 2017; Karacan et al. 2011).
Coalbed gas content is the most important parameter for forecasting and preventing the occurrence of coal and gas outburst. However, existing methods have difficulty obtaining the coalbed gas content accurately. In this study, a numerical calculation model for the rapid estimation of coal seam gas content was established based on the characteristic values of gas desorption at specific exposure ...
