Net Coal Map Methodology
Structure Contour Map of the Middle Kittanning Coal Bed (No. 6) in Ohio
Isopach Map of the Middle Kittanning Coal Bed (No. 6) in Ohio
New Data Layers for the Middle Kittanning
Data Limitations
Middle Kittanning Coal Bed Ash and Moisture Content in Percent

Initial Analysis
Middle Kittanning Coal Bed Query
Middle Kittanning Coal Bed Query
Advanced Analysis
CO2 and Methane Potential
Pennsylvanian Allegheny and Pottsville Groups Net Coal CO2 Potential
Middle Kittanning Coal Bed CO2 and Coal Bed Methane Potential Adjusted for Ash and Moisture
Query 1: Middle Kittanning Coal >= 42 inches and shale roof >= 10 feet
Query 2: Coal >= 42 inches, <= 20 percent ash and moisture, shale roof >= 10 feet
Query 3: Net coal >= 12 feet / Coal <= 42 inches / Moisture and ash content 20 percent or less / Shale roof >= 10 feet
Conclusion
Future Work
