Coal and Coalbed Gas 2nd Edition

Coal and Coalbed Gas, 2nd Edition by Romeo M. Flores and Tim A. Moore

A clear, authoritative update for energy professionals and geoscientists—this second edition brings the science and practice of coalbed gas into today’s energy landscape. Whether you work in exploration, reservoir engineering, mining, or environmental management, this book commands attention with its practical focus and technical depth.

Inside, you’ll find a comprehensive treatment of coal geology, gas occurrence and adsorption, reservoir characterization, production mechanisms, and field-tested stimulation and recovery techniques. The authors synthesize laboratory data, well-log interpretation, and field experience to explain how coal properties control gas behavior and how to optimize production while managing environmental risks. Coverage is relevant to major producing regions and basins worldwide, making it useful for practitioners in North America, Australia, and beyond.

Engineered for application, the text translates complex concepts into usable strategies: improved well placement, predictive modeling of deliverability, methane control in mining, and best practices for water and gas handling. The balanced mix of theory and example empowers decision-makers to reduce uncertainty, improve project economics, and meet regulatory and sustainability goals.

Ideal for petroleum and mining engineers, geologists, consultants, and graduate students, this edition is a practical reference that supports fieldwork, project planning, and academic study. Add this essential volume to your professional library to advance exploration and production performance in coalbed methane and related energy projects.
