8/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article examining the approach of using time-lapse methods to analyze the methane degasification of a group of coal mine seams in Alabama.
-
7/1/2013 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing the extent to which it can be estimated that boreholes helped to degasify the Blue Creek coal seam in Alabama in advance of mining the seam.

1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was conducted to optimize gas sampling locations for the early detection of spontaneous heating in longwall gob areas.
-
9/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents technical and application aspects of a new software suite, MCP (Methane Control and Prediction), developed for addressing some of the methane and methane control issues in longwall coal mines.
-
5/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article reviews the technical aspects of coal mine methane (CMM) capture in and from coal mines, the factors affecting CMM accumulations in underground coal mines, methods for capturing methane using boreholes, and borehole designs.
-
11/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes a practical approach for implementing stochastic determination of gob gas ventholes production performances and for generalizing the prediction capability of deterministic models.
-
7/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDuring longwall mining, fracturing and relaxation in the gob creates new and highly permeable flow paths. The production rate-pressure behavior of a gob gas venthole (GGV) drilled over a longwall panel was analyzed by using multi-rate drawdown and decl...
