Horseshoe Canyon 석탄층 메탄가스 광구 4개 생산정의 생산이력과 압력 시험자료를 바탕으로 물질평형법과감퇴곡선법을 이용하여 원시부존량을 예측하는 연구를 수행하였다. 물질평형법은 전통가스 물질평형법과Jensen and Smith법을 이용하였고, 감퇴곡선법은 Arps 경험식과 Khaled 법을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 전통가스 물질평형법과 Jensen and Smith법을 이용한 경우의 차이는 12% 이내로 부존량 예측에 큰 차이는 없고, 감퇴곡선법을 적용한 경우, 감퇴지수가 1이상, 최대 3.5에 이르러, Arps 방정식을 이용하면 부존량이 무한대로 산출되므로Khaled 법을 적용하는 것이 적절하였다. 전통가스 물질평형방정식을 이용한 부존량 예측 결과와 Khaled 법을이용한 예측 결과의 차이는 8.67% ~ 31.04% 였고, Jensen and Smith 방정식과 Khaled 법을 이용한 부존량 예측 결과의 차이는 13.67% ~ 26.49%로 후자의 경우가 차이가 더 적었다.
This paper presents the prediction of the original gas in place(OGIP) by using the material balance method and decline curve analysis method with production history and pressure transient test data for four coalbed methane wells in the Horseshoe Canyon field. In this study, the conventional gas equation and the Jensen and Smith(J&S) equation were used to material balance analysis, and the Arps’ empirical correlation and Khaled method were applied to decline curve analysis. From the results, the OGIP estimated from the conventional gas and the J&S method was small in difference as under 12%. Also, in case of decline curve analysis, it was found that the Khaled method has appropriated to calculate the OGIP, because the OGIP was estimated as unlimited value by the Arps’ equation from the decline exponent of 1 – 3.5. The OGIP difference between conventional gas method and Khaled method was calculated as 8.67% ~ 31.04%, and those between J&S method and Khaled method was 13.67% ~ 26.49%.
