Maximising Economic Production of CBM

Studies have shown that Indonesia has one of the largest CBM reserves in the world with a potential of 453 trillion cubic feet. The world's third- largest exporter of LNG - Indonesia is at a critical juncture in its economic and energy history with increasing value being placed on its CBM resources.

With rising demand for LNG across the continent, the government is actively offering new working area. Having offered already 23 CBM working area concessions in 2011, the government plans to offer another 13 new CBM area concession as well as 10 CBM cooperation contracts Indonesian energy to boost investment in this sector.

Petroleum giants like ExxonMobil, BP,Total, Eni have already started exploring the country's CBM resources and are looking at obtaining more concessions.

Recently in March , BP Indonesia and Total were both awarded CBM blocks in Kalimantan. According to reports, the partners will commit to investing over 19 million for the first three years exploration activities in the three blocks.

Will new & cost effective CBM technologies give Indonesia the opportunity to become the region's lowest energy-cost economy?

Successful CBM development often require thousands of shallow wells and a major de-watering process to release the gas trapped in the coal bed. At the exploration stage, it is crucial to evaluate the data from the wells carefully for the purpose of drilling and testing their potential.

As Coalbed natural gas exploration expands rapidly around the globe, CBM operators need new technologies to meet demand responsibly and quickly.

CBMtec 2011 takes advantage of the current limelight on Indonesia/ Asia's CBM development and is the ideal and timely gathering for the industry !

It will bring in key operators in the region to share their experiences and also innovative technology suppliers to impart their knowledge on new & cost effective ways to accelerate Asia's CBM development.

Key highlights

i) CBM Operators' Session and Sharing of latest experience

- Vico Sangga Sangga's and East Kalimantan field - case study of cored wells

- Ephindo CBM Development

- Essar - India's largest CBM operator - Technical Challenges & Sharing of Learning Experience

ii) Progress on the first CBM to Power project

In Nov last year, GE and Ephindo jointly agreed to establish the first CBM gas fired power plant in Indonesia. According to Gatot Prawiro, strategic director for GE's Power & Water business in Indonesia , the plant will be up and running by mid 2011.

iii) Cost-effective and safe management of CBM produced water

iv) De-watering CBM wells with ALS ( artificial lift systems )

v) Innovations in Gas Testing including Drill Stem Test and tooling options available

vi) Effective methods of CBM drilling and completion with 3 hours of comprehensive teachings and learning from Doug Henderson, Scientific Drilling International

Doug has been actively involved in drilling since the early surface directional drilling operations in coal seams in Australia in the early1990s and helped to pioneer and develop many of the methods used to this day. His most recent appointment was Manager-Directional Drilling for Lucas Drilling Services, Brisbane Australia where he was responsible for the execution of directional drilling projects including drilling engineering and directional drilling services from concept to completion.

Doug has a keen interest in directional drilling and continues to be actively involved in ways to improve current methodology.

Doug is currently engaged as the Global Business Development - Unconventional Gas for Scientific Drilling International (SDI), a Houston basedcompany, and operating around the world
