Coal MeasuresMajor division of Upper Carboniferous (323–290 million years ago) rocks and time in Great Britain. The Coal Measures account for much of England's coal production. The deposits consist largely of bituminous coal, though anthracite coals occur in southern Wales. Though local variation in the coal seams occurs, great uniformity is evident on a regional scale, and some coal beds can be identified throughout Great Britain and even on the European continent. |

Additionally, at least one well will target a test of the Fort Cooper Coal Measures ("FCCM"). The purpose of the drilling program is to accelerate dewatering of the Bohena coal seam, contained within the Maules Creek coal measures, and to demonstrate sustainable commercial gas production rates in a shorter period of time than would be possible for isolated wells (as has been the case for previous production tests) or for wells drilled on wider spacing. 2, the first well of a three-well pilot project, is projected to a total depth of 2,600 feet to test the Westphalian Coal Measures. |
