The
exploration and development
of coal bed methane in the
United States is a growing
concern. Last year, methane
produced from coal seams
amounted to approximately
7.5 percent of the overall
natural gas production in
the country. The development
of this resource has created
the need for public
education,
technology transfer, and
the creation of methods
to allow growth while minimizing
impacts to the environment.
ALL is
working at the focal point
of these issues and maintains
a staff of seasoned professionals
experienced in oil &
gas, petroleum engineering,
geology, hydrology, biology,
soils, water resources,
water treatment and disposal,
underground injection, water
management planning, Indian
trust assests, environmental
justice, public relations,
archeological surveys, and
project planning.
