Reservoir Modeling User's Group Formed. Reservoir Modeling User's Group Formed. Inc. established the Coalbed Methane Reservoir Engineering and Simulation User's Group. At GRI's request, ICF Resources, Inc., has established a Coalbed Methane Reservoir Engineering and Simulation User's Group. It discusses problems specific to coalbed methane reservoir modeling to help members use the models and better understand the results.
Several approaches are available for simulating a coalbed methane reservoir.
This version can be used on personal computers, making it more accessible to the gas industry. This modeling system was developed based on the Warren and Root fractured reservoir model. However, purchase of the model is not a requirement for User's Group participation. The first User's Group meeting was held in Denver on September 21st.
