CBM Fracturing - Engineered Solutions

Dry CBM - Dry CBM wells normally contain a number of small coal layers. In order to optimize gas production, each of these layers must be fractured independently of one another. For this reason, Trican utilizes coiled tubing with an isolation tool on the bottom to isolate and fracture each small coal seam. In many wells, up to 25 fracs are completed using this coiled tubing fracturing technology.

Wet CBM - In Wet CBM wells, water needs to be produced (removed) in order to lower the reservoir pressure and release the methane gas. Specialty fluids are utilized to effectively carry the proppant into the fracture without damaging the coal formation and enable the release of water. When the reservoir is adequately un-pressurized, the gas flow is initiated through the created fracture.
