Download or read book Help for Declining Natural Gas Production Seen in the Unconventional Sources of Natural Gas written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural gas provides about 25 percent of the Nation's energy. However, since gas supplies from conventional sources are expected to decline, unconventional gas sources have been receiving additional attention. Gas from the eastern Devonian shales and western sands are the chief potential contributors to unconventional gas production in the near term. The prospects of coal bed methane production will improve if further demonstrations verify that recovery is technically feasible and economically competitive. The prospects for geopressured methane production remain speculative at the present time. The principal deterrents to widespread investment in shale gas wells in the past have been low production rates and low gas prices. If the Department of Energy's (DOE) research and development program, and the industry, continue to demonstrate techniques which improve gas recovery rates within the range of competitive prices, investments in shale gas wells will be more favorable. In addition, decontrol of shale gas prices appears to make shale gas prospects commercially attractive. The problem of high resistance to gas flow in the tight sand deposits must be overcome by improvements in well fracturing technology. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has begun proceedings which could result in higher prices for tight sand gas production, and providing additional incentives for production should accelerate industry activity in the sand gas basins. As the pace of coal mining increases, so will the venting of methane trapped in coal beds. Analysis indicates that methane production from both mineable and unmineable coal beds is ecomomically attractive, but demonstrations of recovery methods are necessary for encouraging commercial development. Coal fracturing methods have been proposed for increasing gas flows, but there is the fear of mine roof instability. Since other methods are available for methane drainage from minable coal, it appears that development of this resource could proceed without the use of fracturing methods. Such substantial research and development is required for geopressured methane that the commercial potential of the resource is not presently known.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An excellent objective explanation of the history, science, technology, politics, environmental concerns, and economics of the shale gas boom. The author clearly has great practical experience of the science and technology of shale gas development and shows a deep understanding of the environmental and economic issues." --Andrew Stone, Executive Director, American Ground Water Trust New technology has opened vast reserves of "unconventional" natural gas and oil from shales like the Marcellus in the Appalachian Basin, making the United States essentially energy independent for the first time in decades. Shale gas had its origins in the oil embargos and energy crises of the 1970s, which led to government research to increase domestic energy supplies. The first large-scale shale gas production was successful on the Barnett Shale in Texas in the late 1990s, followed a few years later by the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. Shale gas has changed thinking about fossil energy supplies worldwide, but the development of these resources has been controversial. Activists have made claims that hydraulic fracturing may contribute to climate change, threaten groundwater resources, and pose risks to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and human health. This volume explores the geology, history, technology, and potential environmental impacts of Marcellus Shale gas resources.

Download or read book A Methodology to Determine Both the Technically Recoverable Resource and the Economically Recoverable Resource in an Unconventional Gas Play written by Husameddin Saleh A. Almadani and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, the worldwide demand for energy has continued to increase at a rapid rate. Natural gas has emerged as a primary source of US energy. The technically recoverable natural gas resources in the United States have increased from approximately 1,400 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) to approximately 2,100 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 2010. The recent declines in gas prices have created short-term uncertainties and increased the risk of developing natural gas fields, rendering a substantial portion of this resource uneconomical at current gas prices. This research quantifies the impact of changes in finding and development costs (F & DC), lease operating expenses (LOE), and gas prices, in the estimation of the economically recoverable gas for unconventional plays. To develop our methodology, we have performed an extensive economic analysis using data from the Barnett Shale, as a representative case study. We have used the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the values of the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) for all the wells in a given gas play, to determine the values of the P10 (10th percentile), P50 (50th percentile), and P90 (90th percentile) from the CDF. We then use these probability values to calculate the technically recoverable resource (TRR) for the play, and determine the economically recoverable resource (ERR) as a function of F & DC, LOE, and gas price. Our selected investment hurdle for a development project is a 20% rate of return and a payout of 5 years or less. Using our methodology, we have developed software to solve the problem. For the Barnett Shale data, at a F & DC of $3 Million, we have found that 90% of the Barnet shale gas is economically recoverable at a gas price of $46 /Mcf, 50% of the Barnet shale gas is economically recoverable at a gas price of $9.2/Mcf, and 10% of the Barnet shale gas is economically recoverable at a gas price of $5.2/Mcf. The developed methodology and software can be used to analyze other unconventional gas plays to reduce short-term uncertainties and determine the values of F & DC and gas prices that are required to recover economically a certain percentage of TRR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American love affair with the automobile is powered by gasoline and diesel fuel, both produced from petroleum. But experts are turning more of their attention to alternative sources of liquid transportation fuels, as concerns mount about U.S. dependence on foreign oil, falling domestic oil production, and the environment. This book explores the potential for producing liquid transportation fuels by enhanced oil recovery from existing reservoirs, and processing resources such as coal, oil shale, tar sands, natural gas, and other promising approaches. Fuels to Drive Our Future draws together relevant geological, technical, economic, and environmental factors and recommends specific directions for U.S. research and development efforts on alternative fuel sources. Of special interest is the book's benchmark cost analysis comparing several major alternative fuel production processes. This volume will be of special interest to executives and engineers in the automotive and fuel industries, policymakers, environmental and alternative fuel specialists, energy economists, and researchers.
