Core Lab Services for CBM Reservoir Analysis | Petropath Fluids India

Introduction

At Petropath Fluids India Limited, we specialize in delivering advanced Core Lab Services to support Coal Bed Methane (CBM) reservoir evaluation and development. With limited dedicated CBM laboratory facilities available in India, we established a state-of-the-art lab in Durgapur (West Bengal) to address this critical gap. Our core laboratory is designed to provide comprehensive analytical solutions that help operators, researchers, and energy companies understand reservoir characteristics, improve decision-making, and maximize gas recovery.
Our services are tailored for the specific requirements of CBM basins, offering accurate, reliable, and cost-effective testing solutions that meet international industry standards.

Key Core Lab Services for CBM Reservoirs

We provide a wide range of advanced analytical tests to characterize coal samples and evaluate gas potential. Our specialized studies include:

  • Field Desorption Studies – Essential for evaluating gas content directly from the reservoir.

  • Gas Composition Analysis – Determines the chemical makeup of coal seam gas.

  • Total Organic Carbon (TOC) – Evaluates the richness of coal and its hydrocarbon potential.

  • Proximate Analysis – Identifies key coal properties such as moisture, volatile matter, and ash content.

  • Ultimate Analysis – Determines elemental composition including carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen.

These studies ensure a comprehensive understanding of reservoir properties, enabling clients to make data-driven decisions for commercial CBM exploration.

Advanced Coal Bed Analysis

Our laboratory offers critical coal bed analysis to determine the commercial viability of reservoirs. We conduct the following specialized tests:

  1. Borehole Site Canister Desorption

    • The primary tool to quantify the volume and quality of coal seam gas.

    • Helps evaluate the commercial potential of CBM reservoirs.

  2. Gas Content Analysis

    • Determines the total volume of gas present in freshly cut core samples.

    • Provides key data for reservoir evaluation and production planning.

  3. Desorbed Gas Composition

    • Identifies fractionation of gas throughout the desorption process.

    • Offers insights into in-situ gas composition and long-term gas production forecasting.

  4. Adsorption Isotherm Studies

    • Accurately measures the gas storage capacity of coal pores at reservoir temperature and pressure.

    • Helps assess maximum recovery potential of CBM wells.
