17 How much gas do we produce?

18 Enhanced Coal Bed Methane Recovery (ECBM) Enhanced coal bed methane recovery is a method of producing additional coalbed methane from a source rock (coal bed), similar to enhanced oil recovery applied to oil fields; If the gas is injected into a coal bed, then methane could be liberated and extracted. Typical injection gases include nitrogen and carbon dioxide; Growing interest in carbon sequestration brought considerable interest into integrated ECBM recovery/carbon sequestration projects.

19 Power generation, CO 2 sequestration & ECBM Power plant CO 2 CH 4 CH 4 CH 4

20 CO 2 emissions from stationary sources in Indiana Emission sources (2009 data) CO 2 emissions (metric tons/year) Coal-burning electric power plants 117,736,810 Major coal-burning industrial and institutional plants 4,378,999 Natural gas-burning industrial generators 39,925,000 Oil-burning industries 1,954,741 Wood-burning industries 399,672 TOTAL emissions from point sources 164,395,222 Coal-burning electric power plants 71.62% Natural-gas industrial generators 24.29% Major coal-burning industrial and institutional plants 2.66% Wood-burning industries 0.24% Oil-burning industries 1.19% Total Indiana CO 2 emissions: 250 mln tons a year

21 Gas storage in coal Dual-porosity system: matrix and cleats Gas stored by adsorption on coal surfaces within the matrix 1 lb of coal (15 in 3 ) contains 100,000 1,000,000 ft 2 of surface area Gas production by desorption, diffusion and Darcy flow

22 Gas Transport Mechanisms (matrix flow) Microporosity Mesoporosity Macroporosity (fracture flow) Matrix: Gas Desorption, Diffusion, Darcy-flow Fracture: Darcy-Flow

23 Adsorption capacities of Indiana coals CH 4 adsorption: corresponding CH 4 adsorption capacities range from approximately 1.6 to 6.3 m 3 /t (50 to 200 scf/ton).

24 Adsorption capacities of Indiana coals CO 2 adsorption: for reservoir conditions, the range of CO 2 adsorption capacities (daf basis) ranges from close to 6.2 m 3 /t (200 scf/ton) for the lowest pressure to almost 22.0m 3 /t (700 scf/ton) for the highest pressures. The ratio of CO 2 to CH 4 adsorption capacities varies with pressure. At 2.07MPa (300 psi), the CO 2 /CH 4 ratio ranges from 3.7 to 5.7 for the coals studied.

25 Objective: to assess the potential of deep, uneconomic coalbeds located within the Illinois Basin to (1) sequester CO 2 and (2) produce methane from the coals as a by-product of the sequestration process (enhanced coalbed methane [ECBM] recovery).

26 Methods: - We reviewed physical and chemical attributes of the coals that are important in assessing their ability to adsorb and retain CO 2. - The depth and thickness of the coalbeds, as well as selected coal quality parameters (e.g., ash, moisture), were analyzed and interpreted in terms of the availability of the coal for CO 2 storage. - The criteria for minability were reviewed and applied to the set of seven major coalbeds in the Illinois Basin. - Coals were also assessed relative to their adsorption capacities and their response to CO 2 flooding experiments. - Storage capacities were modeled. - Final estimates of ECBM and CO 2 storage volumes were made using GIS-generated map layers.

27 CO 2 sequestration screening criteria for designating areas not desirable for mining (unminable) 1) m ( ft) deep: No CO 2 sequestration, coalbed methane (CBM) target only. 2) m (500-1,000 ft) deep: Sequestration or ECBM target in coals between 0.46 and 1.1 m (1.5 and 3.5 ft) thick. Coals greater than 1.1 m (3.5 ft) thick are considered minable. 3) Greater than 305 m (1,000 ft) deep: Sequestration target in coals greater than 0.46 m (1.5 ft) thick (all coals assumed to be unminable at this depth). While establishing these criteria for CO 2 sequestration and ECBM production potential, these assumptions, among others, were considered: 1) the minimum thickness for identifying, perforating, and producing CH 4 from a coal seam is 0.46 m (1.5 ft), regardless of depth, and 2) the current minimum minable thickness by underground coal equipment is 1.1 m (3.5 ft).

28 Thickness and depth maps were used to separate minable from unminable (potentially suitable for CO 2 sequestration) areas within each coal bed. The depth and thickness of coal beds were the basis for the calculating CO 2 volumes that could be potentially injected.

29 The depth and thickness of coalbeds were the basis for calculating CO 2 volumes that could be potentially injected. 1) m ( ft) deep: No CO 2 sequestration, coalbed methane (CBM) target only. 2) m (500-1,000 ft) deep: Sequestration or ECBM target in coals between 0.46 and 1.1 m (1.5 and 3.5 ft) thick. Coals greater than 1.1 m (3.5 ft) thick are considered minable. 3) Greater than 305 m (1,000 ft) deep: Sequestration target in coals greater than 0.46 m (1.5 ft) thick (all coals assumed to be unminable at this depth).

30 The remaining coal resource in the Illinois Basin: 413 billion tonnes (455 billion tons). 142 billion tonnes (157 billion tons) (or 34.5%) meets the minable criteria of being less than 305 m (1000 ft) deep and greater than 1.1 m (3.5 ft) thick. 271 billion tonnes (298 billion tons) are potentially available as a CO 2 sequestration reservoirs.

31 COMET 2 software CO 2 storage from 1.6 to 4.6 billion t (1.8 to 5.1 billion tons) in Illinois Basin coals 90 mln tons of CO 2 storage in Indiana (~3%) mln tons a year from stationary sources in Indiana - Gibson Station emits ~ 22 mln CO 2 a year (3100 MW capacity) 660 mln for 30 years - Edwardsport Gasification 4.5 mln a year (630 MW capacity) 150 mln for 30 years

32 billion m 3 ( tcf) of CH 4 is potentially recoverable as a result of CO 2 ECBM practices in the Illinois Basin Total recoverable ECBM and CO2 storage per acre of the coal increases towards the deeper areas of the basin, where there are more coal seams and the total coal thickness is largest ~0.15 tcf of CH 4 in Indiana

33 Illinois Basin coal beds have reservoir temperatures ranging from less than 12ºC (55ºF) to a little more than 26ºC (80ºF) in isolated areas in Illinois, where geothermal anomalies are present with temperature gradients up to 2.4 ºF/100 ft. This temperature range indicates a gaseous phase of CO 2 upon injection into reservoir conditions.

34 A hydrostatic pressure map, generated from the depth of the Springfield Coal, assuming totally saturated conditions with freshwater hydrostatic gradient of 0.43, shows that the pressure ranges from less than 689 kpa (100 psi) close to the margin of the Basin to more than 3,792 kpa (550 psi) in tectonically engaged areas in western Kentucky. Such a pressure range is far below the critical point, placing the coals studied in the gas state with regard to phase characteristics of CO 2.
