COALBED METHANE (CBM) OF ANTHRACITE IN THE SCCF<br />

Most of coals are anthracite to meta-anthracite having with 3.5~5.5% of Ro. The amount of<br />

producible CBM is estimated as up to 1.3 Tft 3 according to the calculations of Eddy et al<br />

(1982), on the basis of 1.5 billion metric tons as total reserves. The SCCF and CNCF are the<br />

areas of greatest potential amongst the coalfields of South Korea as they are the largest, have<br />

well-documented lithostratigaphies, contain thick coal seams, and include many historically<br />

<strong>gas</strong>sy coal mines (Figure 7).<br />
