Capabilities:

Coal Mine Methane

Coal Mine Methane (CMM) drainage industry leaders join forces to bring a total solution to the coal mining industry ventilation needs. Capabilities brought to the project include:

• Coal seam characterization of gas content, reservoir pressure, permeability and water saturation;
• Design and layout of a gas drainage drilling plan with in-seam, cross-measure or surface drilling as necessary;
• Design and construction of a state-of-the-art gas recovery in-mine piping system with fail-safe capabilities;
• Drilling of in-mine or surface holes in concert with long-term mining plans;
• Design and installation of gob gas drainage wells, with gathering lines and controls.

Mine Assessment, Drainage Design and Implementation (MADDI)

The MADDI approach to CMM will:

• Address immediate needs for gas drainage for mine safety purposes;
  
• Also plan for long-term opportunities to drain gas at an additional profit; and
  
• Establish baseline for securing long-term carbon credits.
