Figure 5. Annual coalbed methane production in Virginia (Bcf). Data from Nolde (1995); Jack Nolde, Virginia Division of Mineral Resources, personal commun., April, 1996.

Figure 6. Annual production (estimate) of coalbed methane in central and northern Appalachian basin. This report.

Figure 7. Comparison of coalbed methane production in the central and northern Appalachian basin with that of the Black Warrior basin. Note that the Black Warrior basin has reached production maturity, and the central and northern Appalachian basin began significant production on 1992 and, therefore, is a frontier area for coalbed methane development.
