CIRI will conduct high-resolution seismic tests to complete geologic modeling for an underground coal gasification (UCG) project being developed by Stone Horn Ridge, a company owned by CIRI and Houston-based Laurus Energy. CIRI has identified approximately 300 million tons of coal in subsurface estate it owns on the west side of Cook Inlet. UCG converts coal into synthesis gas (syngas), a bridge fuel that can be used for power generation, upgraded into synthetic natural gas or used as feedstock for producing clean-burning liquid fuels.
