During underground coal gasification, the process gas will tend to escape from the cavity if there is an outward pressure gradient. In order to prevent this, a common practice is to ensure that the fluid flow from the strata surrounding the cavity must be towards it [46]. However, under specific conditions where coal acts as a confined aquifer ...
The idea of underground coal gasification (UCG) was first put forward by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1888. He suggested, "The purpose of coal mining is the extraction of the energy composition in coal, rather than the coal mining itself," and also pointed out the basic approach to realize industrialization of coal gasification.
With underground coal gasification (UCG), the actual process takes place underground, generally below 1,200 feet. The underground setting provides both the feedstock source as well as pressures comparable to that in an aboveground gasifier. With most UCG facilities, two wells are drilled on either side of an underground coal seam.
The Controlled Retracting Injection Point (CRIP) process for underground coal gasification (UCG) was successfully demonstrated during the Rocky Mountain I (RM I) field test conducted in the winter of 198788 near Hanna, Wyoming. The basic features for the CRIP process are its ability to maintain oxidant injection low in the coal seam by ...

The underground link,, the gasification channel between the two wells, needs to be established in the target coal seam because the underground primitive conditions, surrounding rock characteristics, and coal properties cannot readily provide a porous gasification channel for the gas flow and ensure the continuation of the gasification process.
By igniting in the coal seam and injecting gas agent, underground coal gasification (UCG) causes coal to undergo thermochemical reactions in situ and, thus, to be gasified into syngas for power generation, hydrogen production, and storage. Compared with traditional mining technology, UCG has the potential sustainable advantages in energy, environment, and the economy. The paper reviewed the ...
Underground coal gasification (UCG) has been identified as an environmentally friendly technique for gasification of deep unmineable coal seams in situ.
