Description

Coal bed methane (CBM) is natural gas – primarily methane – found on the surface and in the cracks of coal. In 2003, the Fort Assiniboine area was the focus of new industrial operations supporting CBM development. In this area of the province, existing oil and gas infrastructure was limited. The companies interested in pursuing CBM saw the opportunity to engage the community early, while at the same time, work with government to reduce the expected footprint.
