Evaluation of microbial diversity in the formation water of the producer and marginal wells in bokaro coal field.

ABSTRACT: The rise in global energy demand has prompted research on developing strategies for transforming conventional nonrenewable sources to cleaner fuels. Biogenic methane production is a promising source that caters to increasing energy demands. Therefore, research to enhance their production is of great importance. Implementation of successful enhancement strategies requires knowledge of the factors impacting coalbed methane production. The microbial diversity of the formation water in coal seams is the crucial parameter influencing biomethane production. This study explores microbial diversity in the Producing and Marginal wells of Bokaro, India, intending to understand the potential application of microbial-enhanced coalbed methane technology in the marginal wells of this reservoir.
