1/1/1973 - Reports of InvestigationsA geologic study of Mines 32 and 33 in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, was conducted as part of a methane control research program.
-
1/1/1973 - Reports of InvestigationsAir quantity-pressure and methane concentration surveys were conducted in accessible portions of an area being pillared in a Pittsburgh coalbed mine in West Virginia.
-
1/1/1973 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines is in the process of degasifying a virgin area in northern West Virginia from the base of an 839-foot-deep vertical borehole.
-
1/1/1973 - Reports of InvestigationsThe applicability of the "direct method" for determining the methane content of virgin coalbeds was tested. Preliminary results indicate that the direct method, when applied to exploration cores, can be successfully used to estimate coalbed gas content ...

1/1/1973 - Reports of InvestigationsTo determine if coals from mines which had no history of detectable gas emission contained adsorbed methane, samples of coal at the shaft bottom and at an active face were obtained and placed in sealed metal cylinders.
-
1/1/1973 - Reports of InvestigationsSamples of gas were obtained directly from the coalbed during drilling of horizontal and vertical boreholes in six different formations. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography.
-
1/1/1972 - Reports of InvestigationsIn this report the importance of diffusion in controlling the emission of methane in mines is examined. An in situ diffusion parameter is defined and calculated for a hypothetical unfractured lump of coal in the Pittsburgh and Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbeds....
-
1/1/1972 - Reports of InvestigationsA sorption apparatus for measuring the equilibrium sorption isotherm and the rate of diffusion of methane from fine-sized coal was designed and constructed. Preliminary work that used Pittsburgh and Pocahontas No. 3 Coal shows that the diffusion coeffic...
-
1/1/1972 - Reports of InvestigationsThe effect of water infusion on the flow of methane and on the production of dust was investigated at an active face in the Pittsburgh coalbed. The average total flow of methane at the face decreased by approximately 79 percent, whereas the flow from th...
-
1/1/1972 - Reports of InvestigationsThe use of a partially slotted 6.5-Inch-inside-diameter vertical pipe to remove methane from a longwall gob area at a depth of 2,260 feet in the Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbed was investigated. The value of gas removed by such a pipe under free-flow condition...
