Abstract
ABSTRACT A regional geologic assessment of the Lower Pennsylvanian age formations in the Central Appalachian Basin has indicated that the coalbeds of the Pocahontas and Lee/New River formations have a high potential for gas production. This study, sponsored by the Gas Research Institute, has established an in-place gas resource estimate of over 5 trillion cubic feet for the six primary coalbeds in the targeted east central portion of the basin. Using a production simulator designed specifically for the unique reservoir characteristics of coalbeds, estimates of gas production under varying geographic and reservoir conditions were made. The many thin, discontinuous coalbeds of the basin suggest that gas production from multiple coal seams within a single wellbore will be the optimal completion technique.
