Task 1 Summary<br />

Coal M<strong>in</strong>e Methane And Coalbed Methane<br />

Development In The Donetsk Region, Ukra<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Task 1 is split <strong>in</strong>to two sections. The first section comprises a geologic assessment of <strong>the</strong><br />

study areas, along with an estimate of <strong>the</strong> <strong>coal</strong> bed <strong>methane</strong> (CBM) <strong>and</strong> <strong>coal</strong> <strong>m<strong>in</strong>e</strong> <strong>methane</strong><br />

(CMM) resources of those areas. Section two details <strong>the</strong> process of perform<strong>in</strong>g thirty-year<br />

gas <strong>and</strong> water production simulations, for <strong>the</strong> two CBM leases, us<strong>in</strong>g COMET3, Advanced<br />

Resources' proprietary reservoir simulator. Estimates of potential gas <strong>and</strong> water flows were<br />

made from <strong>the</strong> resultant production curves.<br />

Under <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al terms of reference (TOR), task 1 calls for a comprehensive CBM<br />

<strong>development</strong> plan. This was considered too broad a subject to <strong>in</strong>clude <strong>in</strong> one task <strong>and</strong><br />

appeared to repeat large sections of o<strong>the</strong>r tasks. The sections review<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>development</strong><br />

plans for drill<strong>in</strong>g, dewater<strong>in</strong>g, gas collection, compression <strong>and</strong> transmission <strong>in</strong>frastructure can<br />

be found <strong>in</strong> task 2 <strong>and</strong> task 4.<br />
