Abstract
Oklahoma Coalbed Methane—From Mine Explosion to Gas Resource
Abstract
Methane emissions have been a hazard in underground coal mines in Oklahoma since before statehood. The development of coalbed methane (CBM) as a natural-gas resource began in Oklahoma in 1988, with methane production from the Hartshorne coalbeds (Hartshorne, Lower Hartshorne, and Upper Hartshorne; Middle Pennsylvanian) in the Arkoma Basin. Completions in the Mulky and Rowe coalbeds (Middle Pennsylvanian) on the Northeast Oklahoma Shelf began in 1994. By the end of April 1999, there were 691 CBM completions reported in Oklahoma, 282 in the basin and 409 on the shelf. The CBM completions, separated into the Northeast Oklahoma Shelf and the Arkoma Basin, are evaluated by coalbed, depth, initial potential gas rate, and initial produced water rate.
