    FRACKING IN NORTH-EAST SOMERSET HOW MANY WELLS AND WHERE MIGHT THEY BE? The present government is keen to promote an American style unconventional gas revolution in Britain. This could mean big industry moving into our neighbourhood with the attendant disruption, potential risks, and effect on house prices. Parts of Somerset have been licensed for exploration and development. Industry interest has focused primarily on coalbed methane (CBM) with shale gas as a secondary possibility. Fracking may be used for both. Extraction of CBM is likely to be occur much nearer the surface than shale. How many wells & where? In 2000 the American CBM company GeoMet Inc.evaluated the CBM potential of the 400 km2 area shown in Fig. 1 Its report was retrieved from publicly available sources by Frack Free Chew Valley (FFCV) and is available with a detailed commentary. [Coalbed Methane Exploration in Somerset, the Chew Valley, Keynsham & the Mendip Hills https://frackfreecv.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/unconventionalgasexplorationinsomerset_160614b.pd f ] Most of the information here comes from that report where full detail and references should be sought. In its 2000 assessment GeoMet decided to concentrate on areas with coal measures at optimum depth , shown in grey in Fig. 1, and to exclude urban areas and areas where the coal had been previously worked. There seems to be no reason why CBM might not be extracted from other coal seams, but it appears that GeoMet first concentrated on the least complicated areas. This "developable" area, 108 km2 , GeoMet stated, could "accommodate" about 300 gas wells. Fig. 1 gives an indication of their location, according to FFCV's assumption of even distribution.
