Karekteristik batubara formasi muara enim hubunganya terhadap potensi gas metana di daerah muara enim kabupaten muara enim propinsi sumatra selatan
D Daerah penelitian terletak di Daerah Muara Enim dan sekitarnya termasuk ke dalam area Depresi Lematang / Muara Enim Deep, sehingga adanya daerah depresi ini menyebabkan Formasi Muara Enim sebagai Formasi pembawa batubara prospek untuk pengembangan Gas Metana Batubara. Sample batubara pada bawah permukaan / core diambil dan dilakukan analisis laboratorium sebanyak 55 sample meliputi analisis proximate, vitrinite reflectance, moisture dan fixed carbon, serta analisis petrografi seluruh hasil analisis ini dihubungkan dengan kedalaman. Berdasarkan kondisi geologi dan hasil analisis karakteristik batubara di daerah penelitian daerah Muara Enim dan sekitarnya memiliki potensi untuk eksplorasi Gas Metana Batubara. Lapisan yang memiliki prospek untuk reservoir dan source rock yaitu Lapisan-1, 2 dan 3, pada kondisi maceral vitrinite terbesar. Sedangkan harga kapasitas simpan terbesar berada di Seam-2 dengan peringkat batubara Lignit – Subbituminous C.
T The research area is located in Muara Enim and the surrounding area belong to the Depression area Lematang / Muara Enim Deep, so that the depressed areas is causing Muara Enim Formation as formation of coal carrier prospects for development of Coal Bed Methane. Sample of coal beneath the surface / core taken and performed laboratory analysis a total of 55 samples covering the proximate analysis, vitrinite reflectance, moisture and fixed carbon, as well as petrographic analysis throughout the analysis connected with depth. Based on geological conditions and the results of analysis of the characteristics of coal in the study area Muara Enim and the surrounding area has the potential for exploration of Coal Bed Methane. Layers that have the prospect of reservoir and source rock that is Seam Seam-1, 2, and 3, the largest vitrinite maceral conditions contained, while the price of the largest storage capacity is in Seam-2 with coal rank lignite - subbituminous C.
