Abstract
The Multi-Strata project is designed to co-develop both natural gas and coal-bed methane produced through a single well bore. Sites were selected based on the total gas resources available for development combined with a sound knowledge of the reservoir parameters that contribute to the accumulation and production of natural gas in the study area of Raleigh County, West Virginia. The project was planned and is being conducted in two phases. Phase I of the project, initiated in October 1989, consisted of compiling and analyzing relevant geological and gas production information in Raleigh County, West Virginia. The Eccles 7-{1/2} Minute . The Phase I analysis identified, by May 1990, five drilling locations with a high potential for economic gas production. Phase II activities included the drilling, coring, logging, testing, and completion of three wells. It is clear from the tests conducted to date, that the three wells will deliver significant quantities of natural gas from the conventional formations, augmented by high-quality methane from the coal intervals. Gas deliverability will be determined in the upcoming production test into a commercial pipeline. Economic analyses of the project will be undertaken when sufficient production data have been obtained.
