• Methane Emission in Coal Mines: Effects of Oil and Gas Wells
  1/1/1972 - Reports of Investigations
  The method of moving averages was found useful in assessing the nature of methane emission in coal mines. Emission rates were influenced markedly by the presence of abandoned oil and gas wells in the vicinity of the mine. Such wells appeared to increase...
• The Methane Migration and Storage Characteristics of the Pittsburgh, Pocahontas No. 3, and Oklahoma Hartshorne Coalbeds
  1/1/1972 - Reports of Investigations
  Methane flows and pressures were measured in mines in the Pittsburgh, Hartshorne, and Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbeds. From the data, the permeability of each of these coalbeds was computed.
• 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...
• Removing Methane (Degasification) from the Pocahontas No. 4 Coalbed in Southern West Virginia
  1/1/1963 - Reports of Investigations
  Tests were conducted in the Pocahontas No. 4 coalbed in southern West Virginia to determine if successful degasification techniques, developed during an earlier study in the Pittsburgh coalbed, would effectively remove methane from those usually more ga...
• 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 ...
