Methodology for the exploration of coal bed methane (CBM) in Colombia coal basins

| description | It is ussually considered that commercial gas was only related to oil, but research has demonstrated that coal generates great volumes of methane and other gases (CBM). Colombia has big coal reserves, and it is expected that those coals contain enough CBM reserves that can be marketed inthe next years. This article presents the CBM methodologies used in the laboratory of materials, coal and gas, which is located in the UPTC-Sogamoso. The Colombian mining has traditionally presented the methane as a risk factor during the mining labors, but the gas explosions duo to methane has forced some to consider the CBM as an energy resource. Because of that interest, the main objective of this research has focused on adapting and establishing the methodologies and the procedures that should be used to determine the methane gas content by using desorption tests canisters. The canisters and theiradditional equipment have been adapted and improved in the UPTC by Geological Engineering research group during the last years. These CBM guides have been written following the current knowledge on CBM and propose additional recommendations for making the sampling and gas measuring more reliable and supportive of the CBM exploration projects that are taking place in the different coal basins in Colombia. |

Normalmente se considera que los gases comercializables están exclusivamente asociados al petróleo, pero las investigaciones han demostrado que el carbón es una fuente generadora considerable de gas metano en grandes volúmenes (CBM). Colombia cuenta con un buen potencial en reservas de carbón, y se espera que contengan suficientes reservas de CBM que puedan comercializarse durante los próximos años. Este artículo presenta las metodologías estandarizadas de CBM utilizadas en el laboratorio de materiales, carbón y gas asociado al carbón de la UPTC, seccional Sogamoso. La minera colombiana ha presentado tradicionalmente el gas metano (grisú) como un factor de riesgo debido a las explosiones ocasionadas por las emisiones de gas en muchas minas ubicadas en las zonas carboníferas de Colombia, pero esas explosiones y accidentes han llevado a algunos a considerar el CBM como un recurso energético. Por ese interés, es que el objetivo principal de esta investigación se ha centrado en adaptar y establecer dichas metodologías y procedimientos que se deben utilizar para determinar el contenido de gas metano mediante el uso de equipos canisters. Estos canisters y sus equipos adicionales se han adecuado y mejorado en la UPTC por el grupo de Investigación de Ingeniería Geológica, durante los últimos años. Las guías se han realizado siguiendo los conocimientos actuales que hay sobre CBM, y se han propuesto recomendaciones adicionales para hacer más confiable el muestreo y la medición del gas en los diferentes proyectos de exploración de CBM que se están desarrollando actualmente en las diferentes cuencas carboniferas de Colombia.
