Ciris Energy

Ciris agrees to fine, monitoring, after rogue injections into coal aquifer

March 8, 2011 by Dustin Bleizeffer Leave a Comment

But both Ciris and the microbial stimulation proposal has faced scrutiny from the Powder River Basin Resource Council, which advocates on behalf of many rural landowners in the region. Many of those landowners rely on the freshwater coal aquifer for domestic and stock water. They worry that various “nutrients” and chemicals used to stimulate the microbial process could degrade water quality and put human health at risk.

State says microbe gas company broke the rules

March 4, 2011 by Dustin Bleizeffer Leave a Comment

Before Ciris Energy Inc. successfully lobbied for a new law allowing for the microbial production of coal-bed methane gas in Wyoming, it got in trouble under the state’s existing rules. Ciris Energy Inc. allegedly injected chemicals into the Fort Union coal formation in the Powder River Basin without first obtaining a permit for the action, according to state records. Company representatives are scheduled to appear before the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission when it meets Tuesday in Casper.
