In Sheridan, Wyoming, coal bed methane production has become the
number one driving force of the local economy in recent years.
Hundreds of wells have already been tapped in the area, and
thousands more are planned. The coal bed methane industry directly
and indirectly employees thousands of local residents.
Coal bed methane is usually found wherever there are coal seams.
The natural gas is trapped above the coal seam and beneath the
ground water. Coal seams run all around the Sheridan area, and most
are very shallow, so the natural gas is fairly easy to access.
Naturally, there is controversy regarding coal bed methane production.
Water is pumped out of the ground in order to release the natural gas,
and the water must be released somewhere. All of the water released
from coal bed methane production potentially harms the environment.
State and federal regulations require energy producers to follow strict
guidelines, both during production and during reclamation.
Sheridan Wyoming Coal bed methane production is bound to continue
for some time. Wells in the area produce up to $10,000 worth of
natural gas per day. Local residents who own mineral rights have
become instant millionaires. There is no doubt that coal bed methane
has had a profound effect on the local economy.
