• Methane Emission Rate Studies in a Central Pennsylvania Mine
  1/1/1971 - Reports of Investigations
  The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of methane emissions during coal extraction by a longwall mining system. The study was conducted over 22 consecutive shifts. The average methane emission rate from the Lower Kittanning coalb...
• Methane Emission Rate Studies in a Northern West Virginia Mine
  8/1/1970 - Technical Progress Reports
  Methane emission rates were studied in a Pittsburgh coalbed mine in northern West Virginia. Air volumes and methane percentages were recorded, and time studies of the miner were made during five consecutive operating days, during which a complete cycle...
• Behavior of Coal-Gas Reservoirs
  5/1/1969 - Technical Progress Reports
  Gas occurs in coalbeds in an adsorbed and a free gas state. Adsorbed gas is stored in the micropore structure and its transport is governed by Fick's law. The free gas occurs in the fracture system and flows according to Darcy's law. These two modes of ...
• Removing Methane (Degasification) from the Pittsburgh Coalbed in Northern West Virginia
  1/1/1962 - Reports of Investigations
  A joint investigation by the Bureau of Mines and the Christopher Coal Co. at the Humphrey No. 7 mine, operating in the Pittsburgh coalbed in northern West Virginia, was undertaken to gain more insight concerning the hazardous emission of methane gas in ...
