C seam – averaging 2 m thick, the C seam is generally clean of bands, although there is an increase in noncoal weakness planes (known as penny bands) near the top of the seam. Overlying the C seam is a further 2 m of thinly banded stony coal and mudstone, although this part is not considered economic.
USA
Coal liquids and gases are recovered from a thick underground coal seam by drilling one or more boreholes from the earth's surface into the lower part of the seam, burning out the coal over a limited area near the bottom of the seam, collapsing the overlying coal to form a rubblized zone extending vertically to a point near the upper boundary of the seam, driving a flame front vertically ...

Thermal Gas Recovery from Coal Seam Gas Reservoirs Using ...
May 23, 2011 · It is shown that the combination of underground coal gasifiion and coal seam gas production has the potential to develop a new technology that not only reduces the dewatering operation but also enhances gas recovery. Results show that thermal recovery can significantly increase gas desorption and diffusion in coal seam gas reservoirs ...
Coalbed Methane Simulator Development for Improved ...
Apr 05, 2005 · Sequestration of CO2 in deep unmined coal seams is currently under development for improved recovery of coalbed methane (ICBM) as well as permanent storage of CO2. Recent studies have shown that CO2 displaces methane by adsorbing more readily onto the coal matrix compared to other greenhouse gases, and could therefore contribute towards ...

May 10, 2016 · Coal seam gas (CSG) is the extraction of methane gas that is desorbed from the coal seam and brought to the surface using a dewatering and depressurisation process within the saturated coalbed. The extracted water is often referred to as coproduced CSG water. In this study, coproduced water from the coal seam of the Bowen Basin (QLD, Australia) was characterised by high .
