Coalbed Methane Reservoirs: Advanced Analysis Techniques

An advanced look at current industry methods for analysing coalbed methane and coal seam gas reservoirs. It links coal characterisation, data gathering and testing, drilling and completion, reservoir engineering, pilot design and production strategy into one workflow. Resource and reserve guidance is used to help participants shape sound field development plans, with exercises drawn from real data sets.
