1/1/1977 - Reports of InvestigationsA 3-inch pilot hole was directionally drilled to intercept the Freeport coalbed horizon horizontally at Mather, Pennsylvania, as part of a Bureau of Mines degasification project. The original concept was to continue the horizontal drilling into the coal...
-
1/1/1977 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Beckley Mine is one of five new mines in a heretofore unmined portion of the Beckley coalbed. The remoteness of these new mines from prior mining and their greater overburden preclude applying methane emission experience obtained in the old mines. F...
-
1/1/1977 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines evaluated the hydraulic stimulation of a gob degasification borehole to determine if this procedure would aid in degasifying a longwall panel.
