Abstract

We investigated reservoir properties of coalbed methane and typical development of drilling, completion, and stimulation methods. We optimized selection technique for development methods by consifering characteristics of coalbed methane resercoir in the San Juan, Black Warrior and Powder River basins of United States. Finally, welloptimized development methods for coalbed methane in the Barito Basin, Indonesia are suggested. This study may be useful to select economical and efficient drilling, completion, and stimulation methods in coalbed methane development especially in Indonesia.
