Bartin-Amasra coal field was found convenient for enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery among the other fields in Zonguldak Coal Basin, Turkey. The lithologic information were examined and the depths of the coal seams and the locations of the wells were visualized to perform a reliable correlation between 63 coal layers existed in the area. The initial methane in place found in the coal layers both in free and adsorbed states were estimated using probabilistic simulations resulted in possible reserve (P10) of 72.97 billion scf, probable reserve (P50) of 47.74 billion scf and proven reserves (P90) of 30.46 billion scf. Since the Amasra coal reservoir is not saturated with water, almost 10% of the total gas in place was found to be in the cleats as free gas. ECBM recovery was simulated with CMG-GEM module using Coal Layer #26 which has more initial gas in place, average thickness of 1.8 m and depth of 545 m. The effects of adsorption, compressibility, density, permeability, permeability anisotropy, and porosity and water saturation parameters were examined. Cumulative methane production was enhanced with the injection of CO2 approximately 23% more than that of CBM recovery. Injected CO2 amount of 5192 tonnes/year in layer #26 was only capable to sequester only 0.3% of the yearly CO2 emission of Zonguldak Catalagzi Power Plant nearby. Considering the gas in place capacity of the coal layer #26 as 15% of the resource area-A, it can be said that the project aiming ECBM recovery rather than CO2 sequestration would be successful.

Modeling of enhanced coalbed methane recovery in a coalbed at Zonguldak Basin Sınayuç, Çağlar (2006-12-01) A part of the Bartin-Amasra basin is found convenient for enhanced coalbed methane recovery. The lithologic information taken from the Zonguldak TKJ were studied and the depths the coal seams and the locations of the wells were visualized to perform a reliable correlation between seams existed in the area. According to the correlations, 63 continuous coal layers were found. The injection wells were located to the north and south parts of the reservoir where the depths are higher, so that injected CO2 can pu...
Modeling of ECBM recovery from Amasra coalbed in Zonguldak Basin, Turkey Sınayuç, Çağlar (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-07) Zonguldak coal basin is the only productive hard coal basin of Turkey. The eastern part of the basin is called as Bartin-Amasra District, which has deeper coal seams. The depth and difficulty of mining these coal seams make this district an important candidate for coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. However, there is not enough reservoir data for modeling purposes. In this study, the lithologic information collected for coal mining industry was used to determine the correlations and the continuity of the coal s...
Monitoring and statistical modelling of dust concentration of some Turkish lignites under laboratory conditions Karakaş, Ahmet; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2010) Although technological developments enable maximum safety, high dust formation is still a crucial problem in coal mining sector. This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between amount of coal dust produced during cutting operation and some important coal properties together with cutting parameters for different particle size ranges in laboratory conditions. For this purpose, six Turkish lignite samples were used in the experiments. Two experiment sets were designed to generate coal dust by using...
Assessment of Dewatering Requirements and Dewatering Well Design for an Open Pit Coal Mine in Central Anatolia Peksezer Sayıt, Ayşe; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2022-09-01) The celtikci Coal Basin is a newly discovered coal basin in Central Anatolia where 11 years of open-cut mining has been planned. The bulk of the mining will be conducted below the regional water table; hence, determination of the dewatering requirements and proper design of the dewatering wells plays a critical role. This study (i) defined the dewatering requirements of the open-pit mine, (ii) established a dewatering well design for the area, and (iii) assessed the anticipated impacts of the dewatering act...
Development of a computer-based risk assessment tool for underground coal mines Başayar Büyükkara, Fatma Nur; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2016) Underground coal mining remains one of the world’s most hazardous occupations. There are numerous hazards in a mine, such as gas, dust, noise, temperature, and high humidity. Besides, increasing number of occupational accidents in underground coal mines shows the importance of occupational health and safety in these workplaces. By means of Occupational Health and Safety Law No 6331, attention to health and safety in the workplace has grown in recent years in Turkey. In addition, conducting an occupational h...
