This dataset is field boundary polygons of Coalbed Methane (CBM) based on producing wells in the USA. Field outline polygons were created by buffering wells from each field. Buffered well polygons from each field were then unioned into a single polygon record (may contain multiple rings). A smoothing algorithm was applied to the polygons. Features are colored by Basin. Fields are coded with Geologic Ages, Formations, and Coal Names. Age Codes are Exxon Mobil Age Codes. This CBM field outline polygon layer was c
This dataset is field boundary polygons of Coalbed Methane (CBM) based on producing wells in the USA. Field outline polygons were created by buffering wells from each field. Buffered well polygons from each field were then unioned into a single polygon record (may contain multiple rings). A smoothing algorithm was applied to the polygons. Features are colored by Basin. Fields are coded with Geologic Ages, Formations, and Coal Names. Age Codes are Exxon Mobil Age Codes. This CBM field outline polygon layer was created to represent a very approximate area of CBM gas production from well point data. This layer is based on well data provided by individual organizations and state entities, which was not checked for accuracy or completeness.
