How do gas companies extract methane from a coal seam?

Coal Bed Methane Frequently Asked Questions
Since CBM travels with ground water in coal seams, extraction of CBM involves pumping available water from the seam in order to reduce the water pressure that holds gas in the seam. CBM has very low solubility in water and readily separates as pressure decreases, allowing it to be piped out of the well separately from the water. Water moving from the coal seam to the well bore encourages gas migration toward the well.

How much methane gas is estimated will be extracted from the Powder River Basin?

How do they estimate the amount of methane gas which will come from a region underlain by coal?

Coal Bed Methane Frequently Asked Questions
There are two popular methods of estimating recoverable methane gas from a coal seam. One method requires estimating methane reserves by boring to the top of the coal seam, then extracting a core from the coal. The amount of methane recovered from the coal core is used to estimate gas content per unit volume of coal. If a number of cores are drilled and methane gas release is observed, one can estimate the amount of gas available in a region.
