The paper describes work by the US Bureau of Mines and the mining industry to adapt European cross-measure borehole technology for methane drainage to retreat longwall mining in the US. A test in the Upper Kittanning Coalbed demonstrated the capture of 50% of the total CH/sub 4/ generated by the mining operation. A test in the Pittsburgh Coalbed was not so successful.
