... Abstract San Juan Basin (SJB) is a geologic structural basin located in northwest New Mexico. Comprehensive field-scale reservoir simulation work was performed in finely constructed basin-wide geologic models, targeting sequestering over 120 million metric tons of CO 2 for a period of 20 years...

... was examined for the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado, specifically for the largest field in the basin, the Wattenberg Field. Similar methods were used to assess the risk of wellbore failure leading to fresh water aquafer contamination for the Piceance, Raton, and San Juan Basins in Colorado. Wellbore...

... at the North Coal Fire. Coalbed Fire Features and Location The coal fire that was considered in this project is termed the North Coal Fire, and it is located along the Hogback monocline of the San Juan Basin. Figure 1 shows the San Juan Basin, and the dotted box in the north circumscribes the location...

... Abstract An infill drilling pilot test in the Lewis, Mesaverde and Dakota formations of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, included microseismic and tiltmeter monitoring of fracture stimulations. This study looks at microseisms from eight stages in two wells using an 18-tool stacked toolstring...

... permeability because of its lower storage capacity relative to CH 4 2 . As a result, injectivity increases during N 2 -ECBM. The differences between these two recovery mechanisms have been well documented at the Tiffany and Allison pilot sites in the San Juan Basin, Colorado and New Mexico ( Figure 2...

.... This paper discusses the results of a 45-well pilot of the free cycle plunger in the San Juan Basin. The pilot's objective was two-fold: to test the hypothesis that installing the free cycle plunger would reduce slug sizes, increase daily flowing time, and increase overall production and to establish better...

... of the San Juan basin have to be hydraulically fractured to be economical. The need for artificial stimulation is that the Tiffany area coals are characterized by lower permeability than the coals in the San Juan basin "fairway" to the south. The post-stimulation gas and water production rates in the Tiffany...

... 50.6 64.3 62 Abstract In the highly productive Coal Bed Methane (CBM) "Fairway" area of the San Juan Basin of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado, traditional reservoir-evaluation methods have failed to approximate production levels. The reservoir seems to have the potential...

... for air-drilling in the San Juan Basin. Lost circulation in the sub-normally pressured Mesa Verde Group, particularly the Point Lookout, creates the potential for the most expensive drilling problems in the San Juan Basin. 3 Unfortunately, switching from mud-based drilling to air-drilling does...

... The San Juan Basin is one of the most strategic gas producing basins to the U.S. economy due to its annual volume of production and the market it supplies. As shown in Figure 1 , New Mexico, in general, and specifically the San Juan Basin, are among the largest natural gas producing areas...

... Abstract Conoco implemented a novel well testing program in six infill wells to evaluate the differential pressure depletion in the Dakota formation in a portion of the San Juan Basin in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. The field program consisted of performing pre-fracture nitrogen slug tests...

Furthermore, to simplify the analysis the bottomhole flowing pressure will be assumed to be constant over the life of the well. A reasonable assumption for dry gas wells...

.... These wells are distributed throughout the Lewis completion area and are arranged on a bar graph from southeast to northwest (top to bottom on Fig. 8 ). Abstract In 1998, Burlington Resources (BR) initiated a study to characterize the Lewis Shale (Lewis) gas potential in the San Juan Basin (SJB...
