		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=108855]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[The paper mentions that Louisiana coalbed methane CBM development has lagged activity in other U.S. basins. This is partly due to the relatively undeveloped coal industry in the region, lack of exploration of the potential coalbeds, and a lack of understanding of the criteria necessary for CBM development. The United...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=109766]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[The paper cites that polymer-gel water-shutoff WSO treatments are highly reservoir-, well- and problem-specific. In order to successfully apply a polymer-gel WSO treatment, the underlying problem must be correctly identified or deduced and be amenable to polymer-gel WSO treatments. Then an appropriate polymer-gel system must be properly selected, sized and...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The paper cites that understanding the reservoir, its basic rock properties and how they affect fracturing, is a prerequisite for optimizing hydraulic fracturing treatments. Choosing the proper fracturing fluid, proppant, proppant load, and additives are important. Achieving and maintaining fracture conductivity is essential. Modeling, recognizing the underlying theory and limitations,...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=108856]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[The paper mentions that a Trenton-Black River exploration model, offered by Taury Smith of New York State Museum, has evolved. First, look for appropriate tectonic settings: basement-rooted intra-platform wrench faults and fault intersections, fault-controlled margins, and the first carbonates deposited on newly-rifted/heavily-faulted continental basement. The Trenton-Black River Play remains an...]]></description>
