Gas Content

In the field at the client's well site, CGT offers state-of-the-art Gas Content Measurement of coal seams and shales, with techniques for handling conventional core, pressure core, sidewall core, and drill cuttings. All work is performed according to the client’s specifications and normally involves the use of temperature-controlled gas desorption canisters. Some of the services include:

  • CBM/Shale Gas Desorption based on ASTM Method D7569-10
  • Gas Content for Whole Conventional Core, Diamond Drill Core or Wireline Core
  • Specialized Cuttings Handling Methods with Proved, Accurate Results
  • 0.3 m and 0.5 m Diameter, Epoxy-Lined, Temperature-Controlled Desorption Canisters
  • Three Modes, including

> Quick-Degas for Ultra-Fast Turnaround (~1 week)
> Fast-Turnaround Degas (~1 month)
> Standard Long-Term Desorption (3 months or more)

  • Highly Accurate Residual Gas Measurement (Sealed Blender or Shatterbox)
  • Advanced Mathematical Analysis (including Spherical Diffusion Analysis when required)
  • Gas Composition Analysis by Gas Chromatography

CGT analyzes degas results with both the standard USBM Direct Method and a new sophisticated technique called Spherical Diffusion Analysis (SDA). Comprehensive reports of gas content results and data curves are presented for each sample.
