Coalbed Methane Gas Experts

Coalbed Methane (CBM) ranks as one of the world's largest sources of fossil fuel. CBM now represents almost 10% of domestic natural gas production in the United States and is of increasing importance in other countries such as Australia and Canada. Even so, only a small portion of the world’s CBM is currently being exploited. Developing these assets efficiently requires the expertise to make an accurate assessment of each property. The Netherland Sewell CBM team has that expertise. We have worked with most of the top CBM operators in almost every major producing CBM basin in the world.

Our scope of work generally includes:

• Geologic assessment of the coal seams’ structure, thickness, and quality
