Coalbed Methane Extraction
To extract coalbed methane, numerous wells must be drilled into the coal deposit. Because coalbed methane is usually spread out over a large area, more wells are typically required than for conventional gas development. British Columbia law does not limit the density of coalbed methane wells.
Here's what a coalbed methane field looks like from the air.
Here's a schematic diagram of a coalbed methane well.
A network of roads, pipelines and compressor stations are necessary to connect the wells.
