Shipment of cores maintained at reservoir temperature only upon request. Characterization of coal cores for lithology and fracture development. Total gas content including lost gas, measured gas and residual gas. Gas composition analysis using gas chromatography. Maceral content and vitrinite reflectance.
Ultimate analysis determines the percentages of the elements in the compound.
For coal this usually includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. Proximate analysis determines ash and moisture content, volatile matter and the fixed carbon. Adsorption isotherm generation. Isotherm measurements determine the potential gas storage capacity of the coal, where as, desorption, residual and lost gas measurements determine the actual gas content of the coal. Detailed analysis utilizing ACL's staff with over 75 years of data analysis experience.
