The key to this growth has been the development of new technologies to locate, quantify, and produce coalgas. Over the next 20 years, additional technological advances will be needed to identify new coalgas reservoirs and maximize recoveries from existing ones. Focus areas for these technologies include reservoir characterization, drilling and coring, wireline logging and well testing, completion and stimulation, production and water disposal, and improved recovery methods. This paper identifies some of the key technology needs in each of these areas, reviews recent innovations and showcases emerging technologies.IntroductionFrom 1990 to 2000, U.S. gas production from unconventional resources doubled from about 2 to 4 TCF. The biggest component of this, not surprisingly, was coalgas. During the decade of the 1990's, the number of coalgas wells in the U.S. increased from 3,000 to 14,000, and their associated gas production increased from 200 BSCF to 1.4 TSCF, which is about 7% of total domestic gas production. Current forecasts by the Department of Energy call for annual U.S. gas demand to increase by 45% from the current value of 22 TCF to as much 32 TCF by 2015. To help meet this demand, unconventional gas production is expected to double again, increasing from 4 to 8 TCF by 2015. Coalgas will undoubtedly be a large part of this increase, and the Rocky Mountain States, which contain about 80% of the country's coalgas, will be center stage.Technology is obviously just one of the keys to increasing coalgas growth. Sustained higher gas prices are needed to provide companies with the incentives to invest in coalgas opportunities. Expanded infrastructure is another key that can keep smaller, isolated coalbed resources from becoming stranded assets. Improved access to public lands is critical because these are currently responsible for almost 30% of our annual U.S. energy production and contain the majority of the nation's undiscovered energy resources. Regulatory policies and incentives also have a huge impact as shown by the Section 29 tax credits that helped jump-start the coalgas industry. But technological advancements are expected to have the greatest impact on coalgas growth by optimizing well placement, increasing recoveries with improved stimulation and EOR, and reducing costs.Technology NeedsOver the past decade, various public and private organizations have conducted numerous surveys to help prioritize technology needs for developing unconventional gas resources. Most of these surveys ask industry personnel to identify technical barriers to commercial development and rank upstream technology areas in order of importance.These survey results show some interesting trends. The first is that the need for technology is now being driven by independent producers who are responsible for more than two-thirds of U.S. gas production. These companies typically do not conduct or fund research and development, but are keenly interested in new technologies that will impact their bottom line. These independents need a centralized means to connect with those who are generating the new technologies.Another trend is that service companies appear to have greater confidence in existing technologies than independents. This points to the need for improved technology transfer and a better feedback loop from producers to service companies. Service companies also place a higher value than independents on technologies that improve data storage and access. This is not surprising given that the large service companies are promoting integrated solutions to reservoir management, and need better ways to coordinate work within their subsidiaries.
