The location of gas-bearing horizons is determined by techniques similar to those used for testing petroleum wells. Much of the gas is held in the coal itself, absorbed or weakly adsorbed in the pores and on the surfaces of the organic material. The cost of additional testing when the cores first recovered is always less than that of re-drilling to provide further samples.
