Thats according to Dr. David Marchioni, one of Canadas leading CBM geologists, who appeared on Canadas ROB TV in late April. Because of advances in the technology, one can be more effective in getting the gas out, Dr. Marchioni told the reporters on Canadas leading business television network.
Questioned about how CBM gas was different from conventional natural gas, Dr. Marchioni, who was recently named the Vice President of Exploration for Pacific Asia China Energy (TSX: PCE), responded, CBM gas is really no different from natural gas. He added, Its really better because it has a very high methane content, generally 90 percent, often much higher than that.

China came during Marchionis television interview. China nearly always does end up a topic of discussion, when...
