Coalbed Methane

What will be done with FRESH WATER?

Because Coalbed Methane is a very low pressure gas, many wells must be drilled close together to maximize production.
Roads, pipelines, power lines and compressor stations will crisscross the areas. This cumulative effect must be recognized.


Natural Gas in Coal (NGC) is also known as Coalbed Methane. In Alberta, it is subject to the same drilling, production and operational rules as other forms of natural gas.

Coalbed Methane is one of the current issues of BAC.
