Contribution to Gas Production from Minor Coal Seams and Adjacent Shales: Numerical Modelling Results for the Mannville Coal Measures, South Central Alberta
The contribution to production of the gas stored within the coal and shale beds adjacent to the main coal seam in the Mannville Group, in which a lateral is drilled, was investigated through a series of numerical simulations. The results indicate that the added gas from the minor coal seams, with interbedded shales with no gas, results in 1.4 times (×) more produced gas and 3.0× more produced water after 25 years of production than when only the main Mannville coal seam is considered. Including gas in the shales results in 1.7× more produced gas and 2.5× more produced water after 25 years of production than when only the main coal seam is considered. The produced gas recovered from the shales exceeds the produced gas recovered from the coals after ~8.5 years, resulting in 2.1× more produced shale gas than coal gas after 25 years of production. Over half (56%) of the produced coal gas after 25 years of production is recovered from the main coal seam while a quarter (22%) is recovered from the L1 seam, which is the thickest and nearest minor coal seam to the horizontal wellbore located in the main seam. The results from the numerical simulations provide insights that are not intuitive or otherwise predictable in developing complex reservoirs. Although the results are specifically for the Mannville producing fairway, undoubtedly the production from minor coal seams and interbedded gas shales should be considered in other producing and potential coal gas reservoirs to identify higher producible reserves and optimize drilling and completions strategies.
