Different from the conventional, unconventional natural gas accumulations have obvious particularity in reservoir forming conditions, enrichment mechanism, distribution modes, prediction method and exploration technology. Analyzing the reservoir…
The Baode block on the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin is a key area for the development of low-rank coalbed methane (CBM) in China. In order to find out the genesis of CBM and its storage and seepage space in Baode block, the isotopic testing of…
Carbon isotope composition (13C) has been used as a standard geochemical tool to explore the genetic and post-genetic information of natural gas systems. However, little attention has been paid to the influence of the diffusion loss on the real 13C…
Coalbed gas outburst processes commonly occur in ductile shear zones and release gas quantities that far exceed the maximum gas adsorption capacity of coal seams. Although outburst accidents pose a serious safety hazard, this process has long…
Coalbed gas (CBG) is a typical self-generated and self-stored gas and is one of the most ideal materials for studying the geological-geochemical models of natural gas and its source rock. However, studies show that CBG is usually a mixed gas…
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an undesirable compound in oil and gas reservoirs, which reduces the economic value of gas reservoirs and has toxic and corrosive effects on reservoir operation equipment. Albeit initial generation mechanisms of hydrogen…
In an offshore field, mitigation of H2S from natural gas itself is a big challenge. A situation where high H2S present in well fluid increases the challenges several fold to sweet both processed oil and gas. In a wellhead platform/remote location…
This chapter describes the traditional approaches and recently developed models for in-place natural gas resource and reserve estimation calculations suitable for reservoir rocks displaying a wide range of permeability and porosity distributions. The…
