Coalbed Methane: Principles and Practices

This recently completed textbook is a compilation of current knowledge of coalbed methane

(CBM) development and production processes and is meant to serve as a single source for the
information needed to develop a coal property. The book draws from a large body of information
generated during the several years of the CBM development process. It can serve as a resource
for an either an engineer from the oil and gas industry or the coal mining industry entering into a
CBM project for the first time. The CBM process is an amalgam of oilfield and coal-mining
practices that have merged and often require the engineer to investigate parameters previously
ignored.
