Coal Technology
We offer a broad range of testing services to meet the needs of today's expanding
coal gas industry. In order to optimize gas production, it is important to accurately
characterize each reservoir fully and examine coal fluid interactions prior to completing
a well. Stim-Lab tests are designed to simulate the unique conditions found in coal
seams. Tests and studies available from us include:
- Coal reservoir characterization
- Coal and rock mechanical properties
- Coal core flow tests
- Rheology and proppant transport studies
- Fluid leakoff and fracture conductivity
- Coal stimulation simulations
Utilizing information generated in the laboratory, stimulation treatment design
programs and production simulators can be used to predict the production response
from a well or field following a proposed stimulation.
