acquisition strategy of oil and gas appraisal and development
assets, is pleased to announce that workover and clean-out

About Coalbed Methane (CBM):
Coalbed methane gas (CBM), coal seam gas (CSG), or coal-mine
methane (CMM) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. It
is an unconventional form of natural gas found in coal seams or
coal deposits. CBM is generated during the process of coalification
which is the transformation of plant material into coal and is
contained in the coal microstructure. Typical recovery entails
pumping water out of the coal to allow the gas to escape. Methane
is the principal component of natural gas. Coalbed methane can be
added to natural gas pipelines without any special treatment. CBM
is made up of 95 per cent methane and does not contain sulphur
compounds such as hydrogen sulphite.
The United States has the longest history and greatest volumes
of CBM production, however other
countries such as Canada, China and Australia have increased
production over the last decade.
