A pipeline proposed by the Wyoming Pipeline Authority (WPA) to carry off some of the billions of gallons of water produced annually from coalbed methane (CBM) operations in the Powder River Basin is close to becoming more than a pipe dream. If successful, it could defuse some complaints about the excess water byproduct of CBM development.

A recently released study, funded by the Montana Oil and Gas Conservation Board, says the discharge of a limited amount of untreated coalbed methane (CBM) wastewater into the Tongue River in Montana is not substantially affecting water quality or damaging crops downstream of Wyoming and Montana CBM operations.

While coalbed methane (CBM) has proven to be a valuable resource, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer and his government have had their hands full with CBM developers in Canada and Wyoming, whose projects could affect the water quality of some of Montana’s major rivers in addition to the state’s wildlife.

Constellation Energy Corp.’s newly formed exploration and production partnership has signed an agreement to acquire coalbed methane (CBM) properties in the Cherokee Basin from EnergyQuest Resources LP for $115 million. The transaction by Constellation Energy Partners LLC (CEP) includes more than 500 miles of pipeline gathering systems.

BP plc on Tuesday announced plans to invest up to $2.4 billion through 2020 to recover an estimated 1.9 Tcf of coalbed methane (CBM) in the San Juan Basin of southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. The development program would grow BP’s current net San Juan production (425 MMcf/d net and 900 MMcf/d gross) by more than 20%, with output expected to exceed current production levels for at least 10 years.
