| Abstract | This study is a critical assessment of the coalbed methane exploration opportunities in the major coal-bearing basins in Canada. Using data from wellbores containing coal, together with experience
obtained from studies in other basins, this study provides 1) a defined set of key geological criteria necessary for succesful coalbed methane generation, retention and production; 2) a critical review of the possible geological and operational
reasons for the outcome of various exploration area projects; 3) recommendations for the areas that offer the greatest potential for economic coalbed methane accumulations. |
