New Standard from Last Update.

1. SCOPE

1.1 Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is an unconventional form of natural gas found in coal deposits or coal seams. CBM is formed during the process of coalification (that is, transformation of plant material into coal).

1.2 Its extraction involves drilling down vertically and then horizontally in the coal seam.

1.3 The gas is released in a controlled and safe manner by pumping out the water that occurs naturally in coal seams or cleats to reduce the underground pressure on the coal.

NOTE - The referred standard is a compilation of similar definitions for terminology/ abbreviations as highlighted in 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, covering areas related to geology, reservoir, drilling and production processes.
