Abstract

See full text

After a linkage channel is established through an underground coal seam connecting two vertical wells, a tubing bender/straightener is positioned in a first well aligned with the linkage channel. Oxidizer injection tubing is inserted from the wellhead into the tubing bender/straightener. The tubing is forced through the tubing bender/straightener and on into the linkage channel. The coal is ignited and the fire sustained by continuous injection of oxidizer through the tubing, creating a reaction zone separated from the first well with products of reaction recovered through the second well.
