These studies are the initial part of a pilot program of identification, sampling, and characterization of North-Central Texas coals and are a continuation of BEG's NCRDS project investigations on the potential of these bituminous coals as a coalbed methane resource. Fifty-seven coal, coaly, and organic-rich shale samples were collected from drilling cuttings from five wells for which cuttings are available at BEG's Austin Core Research Center facility. The collected samples represent relatively thin, coal-rich beds in the Strawn (Pennsylvanian), Canyon (Pennsylvanian), and Cisco (Pennsylvanian-Permian) Groups and will be used for coal-rank determinations by means of vitrinite reflectance measurements coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The information produced in the project was entered into a geographic information system (GIS) ArcView project. Digital files of this report and the collected samples are being submitted to the USGS, along with this report.
