IMC Geophysics provides experienced consultant services in the assessment of recoverable reserves of gob gas and coal bed methane. 

Reconnaissance desk top studies to assess the potential for gob gas reserves in areas with abandoned coal mineworkings are carried out followed by detailed studies to assess the geological structure, connectivity of mineworkings, siting and designing of wells.  Minewater recovery rates are estimated using 3D modelling techniques and detailed analysis of mine plans to establish the potential commercial life of gob gas wells.  Passive and active pump testing, together with a full range of gas analysis services are available. 

In virgin coalfield areas a range of services are offered including a geological assessment of the stratigraphy, coal seam properties and structural data for the identification of potential gas traps.  The detailed optimum siting of wells can be carried out using available seismic data and borehole geophysical data. 

The design, specification and supervision of the drilling of coal bed methane wells are carried out by experienced IMC personnel.
