Process For Extracting Dissolved Methane From Hydropressured Aquifers
US Patent:
2014000, Jan 2, 2014
Filed:
Nov 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/694411
Inventors:
Gary Farnsworth Player - Cedar City UT, US
International Classification:
E21B 43/40
US Classification:
166268
Abstract:
One undeveloped alternative fuel is methane dissolved in ground water. Equipment for extracting methane from ground water is readily available. This Application presents a process to produce and use dissolved natural gas in the United States. The process includes the use of production wells, pumps, gas/water separators, compressors, low pressure gathering lines, and water disposal wells. Dissolved methane is present in virtually every basin now known to produce oil and dry gas. The Great Valley of California alone contains undeveloped dissolved methane resources of about 1,200 trillion cubic feet (TCF). Dry gas production in 150 years was about 10 TCF. The first full scale test of the extraction process was completed on Jul. 7-8, 2010 in California. Laboratory analyses of the gas produced showed that it was equal in heat value (about 940 to 975 BTU per cubic foot) to dry gas produced from the same field.
