Course Description
Considering the importance of unconventional energy sources due to ever-growing demand, the aim of the current course is to familiarize the students with the origins, reserves, exploration, and production of coal gas (Coal Bed Methane and shale gas) from relevant reservoirs. Within the scope of the course, different types of Coal Gas reserves will be explained comprehensively. Detailed elaboration on both technical and economic aspects of development of the field is also included. Case studies from around the globe will be covered in the course, as well. The course is adjourned with a case study of development of coal gas reserves.
