IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: A method for increasing the production of methane from a subterranean coal formation by injecting an aqueous oxidizing solution into said formation through an injection well. The oxidising agent stimulates the formation of cleats or fractures in the coal formation and this results in an increased rate of methane desorption from the formation. The oxidising agent contains at least one of the group comprising chlorine dioxide, water soluble metallic salts of perchlorate, chlorate, persulfate, perborate, percarbonate, permanganate, nitrate and combinations thereof. The sodium and potassium salts are preferred. The methane may be recovered through the same well used for injecting the oxidising solution or through a separate recovery well. The oxidant is normally shut-in the well for a selected period, at least 24 hrs, before methane collection begins.

If a memory masking algorithm is implemented then either the addresses of defective cells are not generated, or addresses are remapped to access working cells. Memory defect maps may be stored in an EPROM or look-up table. Defect maps for each memory module may be stored on the memory module, with the defect map being read by the MMU. The MMU may be incorporated in the processor 12 (figure 3). The substitute memory 20 may be included on the motherboard.
