241 | MULTI-PURPOSE WELL BORES AND METHOD FOR ACCESSING A SUBTERRANEAN ZONE FROM THE SURFACE | EP04819050.8 | 2004-11-03 | EP1689974A1 | 2006-08-16 | PAULEY, Steven, R. |
A well system (10) includes at least two well bores (12, 32) extending from a surface (14) to a subterranean zone (15). Each of the two well bores (12, 32) is used to form a well bore pattern (60, 90) for the subterranean zone (15) that intersects the other well bore (12, 32) and transports fluid from the subterranean zone (15) to the other well bore (12, 32) for production to the surface. In addition, each of the two well bores (12, 32) is operable to collect fluids transported to the well bore (12, 32) by the well bore pattern (60, 90) formed through the other well bore (12, 32) for production to the surface (14). | ||||||

An apparatus for drawing a fluid level in a wellbore. The apparatus comprises a first tubular disposed within the wellbore so that a wellbore annulus is formed. The apparatus further includes an annular nozzle operatively attached to the first tubular, and wherein the annular nozzle comprises: an annular adapter, and, a suction tube that extends from the annular member into an inner portion of the first tubular. The apparatus further comprises a second tubular concentrically disposed within the first tubular so that a micro annulus is formed therein. The apparatus may further contain a jetting device for delivering an injected medium injected from the micro annulus into the wellbore annulus, and a stabilizer that stabilizes the second tubular with the first tubular. A method of drawing down a fluid level is also disclosed. | ||||||

249 | SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING COALBED GAS PRODUCTION | EP00944853.1 | 2000-06-23 | EP1198659A1 | 2002-04-24 | MONES, Charles, G. |
A method of stimulating coalbed (5) methane production by injecting gas into a producer (2) and subsequently placing the producer (2) back on production is described. A decrease in water production may also result. The increase in gas production and decrease in water production may result from: the displacement of water from the producer (2) by gas; the establishment of a mobile gas saturation at an extended distance into the coalbed (5), extending outward from the producer (2); and the reduction in coalbed (5) methane partial pressure between the coal matrix (11) and the coal's cleat system. | ||||||

A coalbed formation is stimulated to improve the recovery of methane which involves injecting into the coalbed formation an aqueous acid solution containing an organic amphoteric tertiary ammonium compound having from 1 to 3 tertiary ammonium groups, each N of which contains at least one one C3 to C4 unsaturated caboxylic acid group, and wherein the compound contains a terminal benzyl or C5-C19 alkyl group. | ||||||

Gas permeability of very low permeability subterranean formations, and the gas permeability reducing effects of injecting one or more treatment fluids thereinto, are measured by injecting a gas into a core sample of the formation at a selected substantially constant pressure, and continuing the injection for a long period of time to ensure steady state flow conditions. The temperature of the gas as it flows through the core sample and the flow rate of the gas exiting the core sample are measured, and the native state gas permeability of the core sample is calculated therefrom. One or more treatment fluids can be injected into the core sample after the native state permeability is determined. Thereafter, the gas permeability can again be determined and compared to the native state permeability. |

A fuel gas, typically methane, is produced from a coal seam penetrated by an injection well and a gas production well by first introducing liquefied or gaseous carbon dioxide through the injection well into the coal seam and subsequently introducing a weakly adsorbable gas, for example nitrogen, through the injection well and into the coal seam. As the weakly adsorbable gas passes through the coal seam, it forces the carbon dioxide through the seam. If the carbon dioxide is in liquefied form, it evaporates as it moves through the seam, and the carbon dioxide gas desorbs methane from the coal and sweeps it toward the production well. The methane is withdrawn from the seam through the production well. |

257 | A method for the underground gasification of coal or browncoal | EP83200337.0 | 1983-03-10 | EP0089085A1 | 1983-09-21 | Grupping, Arnold Willem Josephus, Prof.Ir. |
A method for the underground gasification of coal or browncoal, using two boreholes (1, 2) extending through a coal layer (3) with the slope of said layer, for supplying oxygen to a combustion and gasification front in said layer and discharging combustion gases respectively, a filler material being intermittently supplied through one of said boreholes for filling the cavity produced by burning away the coal layer. According to the invention, said filling is started at a moment before the combustion front has reached the discharge borehole, and in particular before the overlying formations will collapse to such a degree that an inadmissible subsidence at the ground level would develop. Thereafter the combustion and gasification is restarted in the same or the opposite sense as may be required for adjusting the orientation of the gasification front in the desired direction. |
