Alpha Gas - a new unconventional gas in shales and coals ...

Alpha Gas is generated in real time by the natural catalytic activity of shale or coal source rocks.
 
It is the major component of produced gas.

Alpha Gas production is predictable from laboratory testing of a rock's gas generation capacity, characteristics and dynamics.

Alpha Gas production can be engineered during production to maximize its generation.
   


Presentation at APPG Annual Convention
"Alpha Gas in Production of Unconventional Gas"

Frank Mango
Monday, April 12, 8:00 AM
New Orleans

Now offering laboratory testing of cores and cuttings to predict Alpha Gas production.  Petroleum Habitats is also offering consulting and educational services.
