The absence of detectable amounts of ethane or higher hydrocarbons is in contrast to "natural gas" composition and the occurrence of methane in water wells shows little if any relation to the occurrence of oil and natural gas. The amount of water well gas has usually been insignificant, ...

When water pressure is lowered to allow coalbed methane to desorb and flow to the well, three distinct flow regimes can be identified: (1) saturated water flow with no gas phase; (2) unsaturated water flow with an immobile gas phase; and (3) two-phase flow of gas and water. This pape...
Stable isotopes indicate that wells emit natural gas and/or coalbed CH 4. We estimate that abandoned wells make a small contribution (<1%) to regional CH 4 emissions in our study areas. Additional data are needed to accurately determine the contribution of abandoned wells to national CH 4 ...
We can take advantage of the self-eruption capability of methane-water mixture produced from NGH deposits to save energy consumption in NGH production. As sufficient gas enters the bottom of the well, the produced methane-water mixture at the bottom of the well could flow upward to ocean ...
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Warmer Arctic temperatures could result in gradual melting of gas hydrates below permafrost. Warming oceans could cause gradual melting of gas hydrates near the sediment-water interface. Although many news reports have presented this as a potential catastrophe, USG...
Methane can also be found in coal gas. Pockets of methane exist naturally underground. In homes, methane may be used to fuel a water heater, stove, and clothes dryer. Incomplete combustion of gas also produces carbon monoxide. Methane gas is flammable and may cause fl ash fi re. Methane ...
China last year said it would strive to curb flaring, or burning off emissions at oil and gas wells. Content continues below President Joe Biden's administration finalized a methane fee for big oil and gas producers last week, but it is likely to be ...
