Resumo

There is a number of risk issuesassociated with CBM/CMM operations:sealing the mine shafts; pumping the minewater; evacuating air from the mine andair ingress into the mine. Our team hasinvestigated the details of the initial phaseof the business plan and, by extrapolation ofkey parameters, was able to form an opinionon the larger plan. The details investigatedinclude: the methods to calculate the volumeof gas entrapped in the coal; the sealing ofthe mine shafts to trap the gas escape; andthe process to keep the mines pumped dry byremoving the underground water that drainsinto the mine workings.
