Online resources: Summary: Bridging the gap in expertise between coal and coalbed gas, subfields in which opportunities for cross training have been nonexistent, Coal and Coalbed Gas sets the standard for publishing in these areas. This book treats coal and coalbed gas as mutually inclusive commodities in terms of their interrelated origin, accumulation, composition, distribution, generation, and development, providing a balanced understanding of this energy mix. Currently considered a non-renewable energy resource, coalbed gas, or coalbed methane, is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. In recent years, countries have begun to seek and exploit coal for its clean gas energy in an effort to alleviate environmental issues that come with coal use, making a book on this topic particularly timely. This volume takes into account processes of coalification, gasification, and storage and reservoir characterization and evaluation and looks at water management and environmental impacts as well. Covers environmental issues in the development of coalbed gas Includes case studies, field guides and data, examples, and analytical procedures from previous studies and investigations Accessible by a large multidisciplinary market by one of the world's foremost experts on the topic.Summary: Front Cover -- Copyright -- Coal and Coalbed Gas -- Contents -- Author's Biography -- Foreword -- Preface -- SI/Metric Units -- Chapter 1 - Introduction and Principles -- INTRODUCTION -- PHILOSOPHICAL OVERVIEW AND SCOPE -- LEARNING METAPHORS -- DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGIES -- BASIC PRINCIPLES -- GLOBAL COAL ENDOWMENT -- FROM PAST TO FUTURE COAL PRODUCTION -- COAL USE IN A CARBON-CONSTRAINED WORLD -- SUMMARY -- Chapter 2 - Coal as Multiple Sources of Energy -- OVERVIEW OF RESOURCES -- COAL AS RESOURCE OF COALBED GAS -- COAL RESOURCES VS GAS PRODUCTION POTENTIAL -- COAL MINING DEVELOPMENT AND GAS OUTBURSTS -- GAS OUTBURSTS VS COAL DEVELOPMENT -- GLOBAL EXPLOITATION AND UTILIZATION OF CMM AND AMM -- PETROLEUM DERIVED FROM COAL -- COAL HYDROCARBONS AS PETROLEUM SYSTEMS -- SUMMARY -- Chapter 3 - Origin of Coal as Gas Source and Reservoir Rocks -- COAL AS SOURCE AND RESERVOIR OF COALBED GAS -- GENESIS OF PEAT TO COAL: CONCEPTS -- PEAT-FORMING ENVIRONMENTS -- TYPES OF PEATLANDS -- CONTROLS ON DEVELOPMENT OF PEATLANDS -- EVOLUTION OF PEATLANDS -- MARSH TO BOG PROGRESSION -- METAPHORS FOR PEATLANDS -- PEAT TYPES: FIBRIC, HEMIC, AND SAPRIC -- PROCESSES OF PEATIFICATION, GASIFICATION, AND DIAGENESIS -- ORIGIN OF PEAT GAS: A BIOGENIC GENERATION -- DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS OF PEAT (COAL) -- TRANSFORMATION OF PEAT TO COAL: DIFFERENCES IN CONCEPT AND TIME -- ANALOGS OF ECONOMIC COAL AND COALBED GAS RESERVOIR -- ATTRIBUTES OF PEAT BOG RELEVANT TO COAL -- RATES OF VERTICAL PEAT (COAL) ACCUMULATION -- TRANSFORMATION OF PEAT BOGS TO COALBED GAS RESERVOIRS -- SCALING PEAT FACIES TO RESERVOIR LEVEL -- SUMMARY -- Chapter 4 - Coalification, Gasification, and Gas Storage -- TRANSFORMATION OF PEAT TO COAL -- BITUMINIZATION, DEBITUMINIZATION, AND GRAPHITIZATION OF ORGANIC MATTER (METAMORPHISM) -- INFLUENCE OF COALIFICATION ON GAS RESERVOIR PROPERTIES.PPN: PPN: 807192147Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
