Cooperative Well Research Projects During the Western Cretaceous Coal Seam Project, data were acquired using cooperative well research agreements with San Juan Basin and Piceance Basin CBM operators. The first seven of the projects listed below focused on collection and evaluation of core, log, and well test data and hydraulic fracture stimulation. The procedures for collecting formation evaluation data for each of these wells were similar in concept but differed significantly in the degree of accuracy and number of measurements performed. Geologic and formation evaluation data were analyzed and detailed in topical reports. These reports also document the analytical procedures.
Additional information is provided here by selecting each co-op research project.
After November 1991, the research concentrated on improved understanding of dynamic open-hole completions. The formation evaluation research continued.
