- Description:
- Abstract:
- A coal/CBM database was implemented by the Alberta Geological Survey to capture and manage information related to coalbed methane (CBM). The database is a compilation of data from many different sources and contains information on 7923 wells (15,200 formation picks; 37,357 coal picks; 495 coal analyses; and 363 vitrinite reflectance measurements).
- Purpose:
- The database was designed to facilitate the evaluation of the coalbed methane potential in the plains area of Alberta and to provide a public dataset to government and industry for any further coal/CBM relates studies.

- Data Quality Information:
- Logical Consistency Report:
- As with any compilation, significant effort was made to identify duplicates or inconsistent data. All identified duplicates or inconsistent data were eliminated or corrected. Stratigraphic picks from the various studies were mapped extensively. All anomalies were identified, checked individually and corrected. Stratigraphic picks that were impossible to check were eliminated from the dataset.<p>The coal quality data and vitrinite reflectance measurements were not checked in any way</p><p>Since the data was released, some inconsistencies have been found. It would appear that in some wells coal seams may not be correctly classified by coal zone. It is not clear if the problem is with the classification of the coal seams or with the identification of stratigraphic units for these wells.</p>
- Completeness Report:
- Only wells that were part of the compilation were considered. Many other wells throughout the province contain information related to coal and CBM potential. Some of the studies in the compilation only examined coals from particular zones. Wells used for these studies may contain information for other coal zones which is not part of this database. Wells in the foothills area of Alberta are not included in this compilation.

- Process Description:
- Preliminary Investigation <p>A database to capture and manage information related to coalbed methane (CBM) potential and CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration was designed and implemented. The CBM Database was constructed based on collections of previous digital data from coal and CBM related studies.</p><p>Prior to 1989, the Alberta Geological Survey conducted an extensive program to study and map the coals in both the foothills and plains areas of Alberta. From 1989 to 1991, a regional evaluation of coal resources related to the CBM potential in the foothills and plains areas of Alberta was undertaken. These studies were carried out while the Alberta Geological Survey was a part of the Alberta Research Council.</p><p>During 1998 and 1999 the Alberta Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Canada, studied the Ardley coal zone in Alberta for CBM potential and CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. Since then, the Alberta Geological Survey has carried out detailed, local-scale studies related to CBM potential and CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration in both the Buck Lake (Ardley coal zone) and Alix (Drumheller coal zone) areas of Alberta. New digital data were collected as part of a concurrent regional-scale study to evaluate the CBM potential of the Upper Cretaceous - Tertiary strata of the Alberta Plains. The data are from wells for eight new cross-sections which were generated to refine the geology of the coal bearing zones in the plains area of Alberta, and, also, to act as a framework for the integration of the earlier digital data into a single database. The CBM database contains information only for the coal zones of the Upper Cretaceous - Tertiary and Mannville strata.</p><p>The CBM Database includes digital information from all of the above mentioned sources except for the Buck Lake and Alix studies. Most of the data were obtained by interpretation of existing information collected during exploration by the oil and gas industry, mainly from geophysical logs. Some data were obtained from information collected during exploration by the coal industry. The source of most of the information was the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB), now the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Some information was obtained directly from coal exploration companies. Data were also obtained from a drilling program run by the Alberta Geological Survey while still part of the Alberta Research Council.</p><p>The areas covered by the datasets overlap and, as a result, data from the same well may be present in more than one dataset. The quality of the data is variable between datasets. A general assumption was that data from the more recent studies, 1998 to the present, are based on better-defined and documented protocols. In cases where there was a difference of interpretation between earlier and more recent data, the more recent data were selected initially for checking.</p><p>In order to build the Alberta Geological Survey CBM Database it was important to document what was known about the existing datasets and, if possible, estimate the quality of the data and what protocols were used during data collection and analysis. The first step in the process was to build a master list of wells and then cross-reference the wells in the other datasets to the master list.</p>

- Process Step:
- Process Description:
- Well Identification - Location and KB Elevation <p>More than 9,000 well locations were examined while building the database. The earliest datasets contained information from oil and gas wells where the unique well identifier (UWI) was incomplete. Generally, the location of these wells was known only to the nearest legal sub-division (LSD). At the scale used for mapping in earlier regional studies, it was not necessary to distinguish between wells within an LSD. Such wells were plotted at the centre of the LSD. As a result, the location exception, the part of the UWI used to distinguish between different wells within an LSD, was missing for some wells. In such cases, the event sequence, the part of the UWI used to identify different completions of a well, was also missing for these wells.</p><p>The general approach used to identify wells from earlier studies with incomplete unique well identifiers was to list all possible candidates and then narrow the choice down based on other available data. In some cases the final choice was made based on ground elevation, Kelly Bushing elevation, surface casing depth, date drilled, etc. In other cases it was necessary to examine stratigraphic and lithologic picks for agreement with geophysical data for the well before a choice could be made. Oil and gas wells that could not be uniquely identified were eliminated from the dataset.</p><p>Another issue associated with well identification is the KB elevation. An initial comparison of the KB elevations reported in the first dataset with those obtained from the EUB, as recorded on geophysical log headers, or from the International Datashare Corporation (iDc) identified about 150 wells with discrepancies, some with serious discrepancies (31 wells where the difference is greater than 30 m). A digital elevation model (DEM) at a scale of 1:20,000 was used to estimate the ground elevation for these wells; the KB elevation is usually between 3 m and 5 m above the ground elevation. In most cases, where the discrepancy was greater than 10 m, the DEM was used to identify the most likely value. In cases where the discrepancy was less than 10 m, the value most frequently reported as the KB elevation was used.</p>

- Process Step:
- Process Description:
- Formation Picks and Markers <p>More than 29,000 stratigraphic picks were examined while building the CBM database. Most datasets contained information on marker and formation picks that can be correlated over extensive regions of the study area. Stratigraphic picks from the 1988 dataset were incorporated without change into the 1991 dataset. Due to different approaches to picking (e.g. litho-stratigraphy vs. sequences stratigraphy), marker and formation picks for a well may differ between studies in regions of overlap. Most differences were found when comparing picks from the more recent studies to the corresponding picks in the older studies.</p><p>At various stages in the evaluation of the stratigraphic picks it was necessary to distinguish between duplicate data and different interpretations. Within a dataset, stratigraphic picks were considered as duplicates if two or more were identical for the same well and horizon. Duplicate picks were eliminated automatically. Stratigraphic picks were considered as different interpretations if two picks were different for the same well and horizon. Normally the sources were also different in such cases; however, there were about twenty cases where the sources were the same and the picks were different. These were identified automatically and corrected manually.</p><p>To get a better understanding of some datasets, it was necessary to examine the various subsets of data that were used to assemble the final dataset. The stratigraphic picks of the different studies and substudies that make up a dataset were evaluated by using ARC/Info to plot pseudo-structure and isopach maps of the different horizons/formations.</p><p>These maps consisted of well postings whereby a colour scale was used to represent the z-value (elevation or thickness). On such maps, overall trends are seen as a gradual change from one colour to another. Questionable picks were identified as wells where the representation colour did not match the colour of the surrounding wells. All questionable picks (about 150) were identified and checked individually. The checking was done by examining the picks for these wells on geophysical logs and comparing them to picks on logs from nearby wells on reference cross-sections. Corrections to the picks were entered into the database and the maps were regenerated. Picks that could not be verified were eliminated from the database.</p><p>For each horizon, stratigraphic picks from the different datasets were then merged by selecting the pick from the most recent dataset where choices existed. Care was taken to ensure that the final dataset did not contain duplicates or different interpretations.</p>

- Process Step:
- Process Description:
- Coal Picks <p>More than 39,000 coal picks were examined while building the CBM database. The procedure for dealing with coal picks was similar to that used for stratigraphic picks. Most coal picks can be classified as belonging to a particular coal zone. This is the meaning associated with 'correlated' when applied to coal picks. Summary calculations can be performed by zone such as number of seams, cumulative coal thickness, zone top and base etc. These calculations can be based on the zone identifier or on any interval defined by the stratigraphic picks.</p><p>The protocol used for picking coals in the more recent studies was based on the protocol used by the GSC (Langenberg et al., 2000a). The protocol used for picking coals in the earlier studies was similar but not identical and was not well documented. Before the different datasets could be integrated, it was necessary to document, where possible, the differences in how coals were picked. It was also necessary to develop a ranking by data source, based on the degree of agreement between the interpretation in the earlier studies and an interpretation based on the current protocol.</p><p>This ranking by substudy was used to select coal picks for wells where multiple interpretations were available. The substudy number was carried into the current database as the data source. The substudy number can be used as an indication of data quality.</p><p>As the coal picks from different datasets were merged, duplicated picks were identified and eliminated automatically. Coal picks were considered duplicate if, for the same well, two or more coal seams overlap in any way. Duplicate coal picks can arise during data entry or when data sets are merged.</p>

- Process Step:
- Process Description:
- Coal Quality and Vitrinite Reflectance Data <p>Coal quality and vitrinite reflectance data were available only for the datasets collected prior to 1991 and only for a limited number of wells in each dataset. The coal quality data and vitrinite reflectance measurements were not checked in any way before they were added to the database.</p>

- Process Description:
- Mannville Coals <p>Data on Mannvile coals were added to the database after basic verification. The cumulative thickness of the Mannville coal zones were mapped. Anomalies were identified and checked. All gross errors were corrected. Coal picks that could not be verified were eliminated from the database.</p>
