THIRD INDO-US WORKING GROUP MEETING ON COAL CBM / CMM / AMM Development of Coalbed Methane in India CMPDI has estimated CBM gas-in-place resource of about 1.4 TCM in an area of 12500 Sq.Km in India. 16 CBM blocks have so far been allotted with prognosticated resource of 825 BCM in 7807 Sq. Km area. The production potential from the allotted blocks is 23 MMSCMD. Process for 3rd round of global bidding has already been initiated in respect of 10 blocks with cumulative area of 5800 Sq. Km. Coalmine Methane A CMM demonstration project is under implementation jointly by BCCL and CMPDI in Sudamdih and Moonidih mines of BCCL with GoI/GEF/UNDP funding.

In these coalfields, large number of operating/disused and abandoned mines are present. High density of coal seams in these coalfields Mostly upper seams have been worked by U/G methods, lower seams are virgin, part of which are likely to be under de-stressed condition Likely coal resource of about 16BT in above coalfields for formulation of CMM project after working out techno- economics.
