New Forces at Work in Mining: Industry Views of Critical Technologies

by Peterson, D J
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780833029676

The results of a series of in-depth discussions with leading representatives of 58 mining and quarrying firms, equipment manufacturers, research institutions, and other organizations selected for their prominent position in the industry and their ability to think broadly about technology trends. These trends include adoption of information technologies and optimization of mining operations and equipment; the use of information and communications technologies to more closely integrate mine operations; improved maintenance technologies and practices; and gradual implementation of technologies for operator assistance, remote control, and automation. The discussions highlighted the importance of collaborative technology research, development, and implementation strategies and the increasingly critical role of mine personnel in the utilization of new technologies.

Coal Bed Methane: From Prospect to Pipeline
<p><i>Coal Bed Methane: From Prospect to Pipeline</i> is the proceedings of the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the North American Coal Bed Methane Forum. It provides the latest advancements in the production of coal bed methane covering a variety of topics, from exploration to gas processing, for commercial utilization. Additionally, it presents the origin of gas in coal, reservoir engineering, control of methane in coal mines, production techniques, water management, and gas processing. </p> <p>The vast coal resources in the United States continue to produce tremendous amounts of natural gas, contributing to a diverse range energy assets. Following a rapid advancement and subsequent plateau in technological developments, this book captures the full life cycle of a well and offers petroleum geologists and engineers a single source of a broad range of coal bed methane applications. This book addresses crucial technical topics, including exploration and evaluation of coal bed reservoirs&#x3b; hydraulic fracturing of CBM wells&#x3b; coal seam degasification&#x3b; and production engineering and processing, among others. It also covers legal issues, permitting, and economic analysis of CBM projects.</p>
