In order to quantify the potential methane hazard in underground coal mines, it is necessary to determine the in-seam methane content and an expected gas release rate during production. Various methods for estimating this have been proposed, ranging from empirical formular to direct measurement of the methane released from coal samples in the form of drill chippings or cores. This report describes the process followed and the results obtained in attempt to determine in-heading gas release rate.
