DISTINGUISHED GEOLOGY LECTURE MARCH 14

Jack C. Pashin of the Geological Survey of Alabama will present an American Association of Petroleum Geologists Distinguished Lecture entitled "Compartmentalization Analysis of Coalbed Methane Reservoirs in the Black Warrior Basin: Using 3-D Computer Models to Balance Industrial and Environmental Concerns” on Monday, March 14, from noon to 1 p.m. in Dillman 320. The lecture is hosted by the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences and outlines an investigation to determine whether hydraulic fracturing to extract methane from deep reservoir coalbeds in Alabama could lead to contamination of shallow ground water sources. The main method described is a modeling analysis of fracture patterns (cracks) and the status of hydraulic communication between deep reservoir coal beds and shallow aquifers.
