LAS VEGAS - Petrol Oil and Gas Inc. initiated a $10 million drilling and development plan for its Coal Creek project located in southeast Kansas. The Coal Creek plan involves drilling and developing approximately 82,000 acres of coal bed methane (CBM) and other gas reserves in Coffey County, Kan., for which Petrol holds a 100 percent working interest.
To support the development activities, Petrol filed 30 drilling intents and finished drilling two salt-water disposal (SWD) wells in the area. The entire project is anticipated to encompass about 500 production wells, 4 SWD wells, and several large networks of gas gathering pipelines and processing systems.
