Coalbed Methane in the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico and Colorado 1994

Coalbed methane is playing an increasingly important role in meeting the energy needs of the United States. According to one estimate, this unconventional gas may supply 4-5% of the domestic natural gas in 1994.

With Colorado Geological Survey. Geologic and Hydrologic Controls on Coalbed Methane: Sand Wash Basin, Colorado and Wyoming With Colorado Geological Survey. Geologic and Hydrologic Controls on Coalbed Methane: Sand Wash Basin, Colorado and Wyoming 1994

Coalbed methane production has been established in the Sand Wash Basin. Large coal resources, gas shows during drilling of coal beds, and high gas contents in some coals triggered initial development along the basin margins. Results to date have been disappointing.

Quantifying secondary gas resources in fluvial/deltaic reservoirs: a case history from Stratton field, south Texas Quantifying secondary gas resources in fluvial/deltaic reservoirs: a case history from Stratton field, south Texas 1994

Geologic and engineering studies were conducted within fluvial/deltaic strata of a mature South Texas field to determine the impact of reservoir compartmentalization on secondary gas recovery. Stratton is one of several mature South Texas fields containing fluvial and deltaic gas reservoirs.
