Hydrogeologic Controls, Initiation, and In-Situ Rates of Microbial Methanogenesis in Organic-Rich Reservoirs: Illinois Basin, U.S.A.
Microbial methane from subsurface organic-rich units such as coals and shale support approximately 5% of the United States and Canada's energy needs. In the deep subsurface, microbial methane is formed by the metabolism of primarily CO2, H2, and acetate by methanogens. These metabolites are...
