Coal Bed Methane
CBM is a non-conventional hydrocarbon, a natural gas containing virtually 100% methane (CH4) produced form coal seam reservoirs.

It is often produced at shallow depths with large volumes of water of variable quality and through a borehole that allows gas and water to be produced to the surface. Many coal mining areas support current CBM productions.
