Abstract

See full text

A method of producing methane by injecting inert gas, such as nitrogen, through an injection well into a solid carbonaceous subterranean formation (e.g., coal) and recovering methane from a production well(s). Methane desorption is achieved by reduction in methane partial pressure rather than by reduction in total pressure alone.
