The process of obtaining Gas-in-Place


There are several Values, weight fractions, proximities and ranges are to be found out in actually finding Gas in Place. These include weight fraction which is obtained through proximate analysis and the range these exist between 0.05 which is for medium to volatile bituminous coals and 0.50 which is for sub-bituminous coals.
The measurement of porosities of cleats is also important, the measurement of these is very difficult, and the range of values assigned to these cleats is from 0.01 to 0.05. The default value used for the water saturation in the cleats is 1 unless there is gaseous content already present in them.

To get spot on calculation for the parameters of gas-in-place of the Coalbed reservoir there are many difficulties to be faced. These difficulties include, time consumption of the elongated process, multiple times revision of results which have been estimated, as there are numerous wells being drilled the information is on a rising trend as well which is why there are gas analysis equipment required. As these reservoirs are heterogeneous in nature and the extraction of coal from these is always less than 100% the samples which are existing must not be used as a representative of these reservoirs.
