Pane123 would be completed 4`h quarter 2004. MDWs for both Panel 22 and 23 are to be <br />completed in the 2003-drilling season, June-September 2003. <br />MCC will complete as many of the listed MDWs as possible, understanding that <br />completion of all these wells is a function of several factors. <br />It is this coal production schedule that drives the need for the listed MDWs. If <br />this schedule varies going forward, the need for more or less MDWs would be necessary. <br />If this schedule vazies MCC will contact Forest Service and discuss these corresponding <br />needs resulting from the schedule vaziance. <br />Also, affecting the number of MDW's is the concentration of methane that is <br />encountered as mining proceeds. Current well plans are based on the best information <br />available at this time. However, as the development of future panels progresses more <br />information is made available which will allow MCC to adjust well plans accordingly. In <br />addition as panels are mined conditions maybe encountered that would require additional <br />wells to be able to safely and efficiently produce the coal. Should such adjustments <br />become necessary, MCC will contact the Forest Service and discuss adjustments to the <br />drilling plan. <br />Map 1 depicts MCC's production timing and necessary MDW's for 2003 based <br />on current available information. <br />2003 METHANE DRAINAGE WELLS <br />MCC intends to drill 17 MDW holes in 2003. Eight of the holes will be completed <br />for Panel 22 mining and 9 for Panel 23. Map 2 depicts the MDW's in relation to <br />topographic location. Additional wells may be drilled in Panel 17 on an as-needed basis. <br />Such wells could be contained with coal lease COC-1362 as well as COC-56447. <br />Current plans, pending approval are to drill 2 to 3 additional wells at the beginning of <br />Panel 17. These wells have been included in the list provided as follows: <br />MD W ID Number MCC Federal Lease Number <br />22-01 COC-56447 <br />22-Ola - COC-56447 <br />22-02a COC-56447 <br />22-02b COC-56447 <br />22-03 COC-56447 <br />22-04 COC-56447 <br />22-OS COC-56447 <br />22-06 COC-56447 <br />23-01 COC-56447 <br />23-01 a COC-56447 <br />23-02 COC-56447 <br />23-03a COC-56447 <br />23-03b COC-56447 <br />23-04 COC-56447 <br />23-OS COC-56447 <br />
