Phase One – Coalbed Gas (CBG) Drilling near Princeton

In late 2004, drilling began on a single CBG evaluation well 4.5 km southwest of Princeton. During drilling, a rig, trucks, shacks and other equipment were brought to the site. A typical CBG drilling site is approximately 120m2. After reclamation, this side will shrink to less than half that size.
