CBM Project Experience
Proven results delivering measurable production increases from coalbed methane reservoirs across Australia, Indonesia, and North America.
A Track Record Built on CBM Results
No company has more experience delivering successful laterals in CBM projects than RDS. Operators in Australia and Indonesia chose RDS as their partner, and our North American CBM portfolio spans multiple basins and coal types. Every project adds to our unmatched CBM knowledge base.
Bowen Basin CBM Development
Australian operators selected RDS to deliver CBM laterals in the Bowen Basin. RDS applied its proprietary lateral placement methodology to maximize surface area in thick Permian coals, resulting in accelerated dewatering and earlier gas production.
Kutei Basin CBM Program
RDS successfully delivered CBM laterals in Indonesia's Kutei Basin, demonstrating the adaptability of our technology to high-rank tropical coals. The program validated RDS's ability to transfer CBM expertise across diverse geological settings.
Powder River Basin Optimization
RDS applied radial lateral technology to improve drainage efficiency in Wyodak coal seams, accelerating dewatering timelines and improving gas desorption rates across multiple well locations.
San Juan Basin Re-stimulation
Existing CBM wells in the Fruitland coals were re-stimulated using RDS lateral technology, extending productive life and improving recovery factors in a mature, high-value basin.
Black Warrior Basin Workover
RDS delivered lateral workovers in the Mary Lee and Blue Creek coals, restoring production in wells that had experienced natural decline and demonstrating the value of lateral re-entry in mature CBM fields.
Upper Silesian CBM Pilot
RDS transferred its CBM lateral expertise to the Upper Silesian Basin, adapting techniques to Carboniferous coal characteristics and delivering a successful pilot program for European CBM operators.
