Pt
A bit briefer tonight because I need only reiterate some of last nights post.
Economies of scale apparently stack up for ucg because of a characteristic of low capex and opex ... refer to my previous post and/or wait for Factfinder to post the article he was referring to.
The 830PJ comparison is mine (refer to a series of my posts a few weeks back) based on energy eqivalencies. You just wouldnt normally discuss a ucg in terms of a 1P, 2P or 3P reserve imo because the calculation is incredibly simple ... its just the volume of coal in your project area x its calorific content x the expected % utilisation of that coal, all converted to PJ ... gas reserves on the other hand are more complicated and depend on contents, permeability, rock mass properties and more.
I say establishing and operating a ucg project is at least in the same ball park as establishing and operating a multi well lateral offtake CBM well field, and possibly less. You say its not. I am open to comments from others.
You may be right regarding syngas preparation ... and I would guess this is where Ergo Exergy gets involved ... but I figure its ho hum stuff given that there are active projects in South Africa, China and Russia that I know of and projects in various stages of planning in India, Pakistan, Australia and I am presuming America.
When I said that I think CXY will derive its cash flow from supplying syngas to a partner power station project within their ucg project, I meant exactly that. I would think there are players around like ORG or ENE or similar who would consider constructing and operating a 400MW to say 800MW generating plant right next to a 30 year supply of economical gas. CXY arent constrained to be located near an existing power station and they neednt be burdened with constructing or operating it imo.
Cheers
