re: Ann: FUT: FUTURE CORP TO INVEST IN COAL S... In my opinion, the key point about CBM is the reservoir engineering. CBM reservoirs are much more likely to damage than conventional O&G and this part of CBM science is still mostly green.

To know something about drilling surely can't do harm, but a beginner can drill a vertical hole, nearly everywhere, with some chance of success (not in Lons, there it could even be dangerous).

Deviated and horizontal wells are another matter . The well planner should rather be well versed in rock and drill pipe mechanics as well as wellbore stability assesment. A job for an experienced profesionnal but more and more common.
