The Gillette coalfield portion of the PRB was evaluated in 2002. For this study, detailed correlations for approximately 3100 drill holes were interpreted from existing NCRDES data. In the past decade, the tremendous growth of coal bed methane well development in the PRB has resulted in completion of over 12,000 wells with publicly available corresponding geophysical logs. This wealth of new data should greatly enhance the reliability and accuracy of future assessments in the region.
