Abstract

The present invention describes methods of stimulating the biogenic production of methane in hydrocarbon-bearing formations. The present application provides various stimulants which, when contacted with a hydrocarbon deposit in situ or ex situ, induce or enhance coalbed methane production. Said stimulants may include a bacterial species capable of converting a hydrocarbon in a methanogenic substrate.
