ABSTRACT

Helper field, located on the southwestern flank of the Uinta Basin in central Utah, produces Previous HitgasNext Hit from multiple coal seams and interbedded sandstone within the Upper Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale. Subsurface mapping, along with coal and sandstone petrophysical properties Previous HitobtainedNext Hit from two exploratory wells drilled in 1993, led to the drilling of a five well exploratory pilot program that established Previous HitgasTop sales in 1994. Drilling from 1995 through 2003 resulted in the completion of 111 additional coalbed methane wells. In mid-2003, Helper field was producing 35 mmcfg/day and production was increasing as pressure draw down continued. Full field development is anticipated at 125 wells.
