What is Coa/hed Methane and <br />How is It Extracted? <br />• Methane gas is trapped in the coal beds by the <br />pressure of water in the cleats (fractures) <br />• To release methane gas, water pressure is <br />reduced by removing water from coal-bearing <br />intervals <br />• Coal-bearing intervals can be interbedded with <br />known aquifers, may be aquifers themselves, or <br />are connected with surface water systems <br />
