Latest Coal Bed Methane News

Botala Energy’s Serowe CBM project has reached its most important testing phase after well 3.5B delivered strong early water production and casing pressure. The operational progress is material, but the company still faces a funding hurdle and has not yet demonstrated sustained commercial gas flow.

NuEnergy Gas is moving its Tanjung Enim coal bed methane project towards targeted first gas sales in early 2027, backed by a US$88 million field service contract. But the ASX-listed developer ended FY2026 with only A$552,509 in cash, substantial liabilities and a material uncertainty around its ability to continue as a going concern.

Jade Gas will use targeted 2D and 3D seismic to test whether its established coal-measure gas system extends into deeper CBM, shale gas and tight sandstone horizons in Mongolia. The exploration could expand TTCBM’s longer-term potential, but the company says commercialising existing resources remains the immediate priority.

Botala Energy has secured three wholly owned Botswana prospecting licences covering 1,812km², taking its Serowe CBM footprint beyond 6,000km². The expansion comes as the company prepares to flow-test Serowe-3.5B, while the new acreage remains an interpreted exploration opportunity rather than a booked resource.

NuEnergy Gas Limited has secured A$3.05 million through a placement to fund early gas sales and production expansion at its Tanjung Enim project, alongside advancing other Indonesian coal bed methane assets.

Jade Gas Holdings has lodged its initial Plan for Development of Operations and secured approval for a substantial 502 km² production licence area, marking pivotal steps towards commercialising Mongolia’s first coal bed methane project.

Botala Energy reports promising early gas observations at its Serowe-3.5B well in Botswana, signaling reservoir responsiveness as the well approaches a critical dewatering stage in its Pitse Pilot.

Jade Gas has completed a A$11 million placement, boosting its cash reserves beyond A$20 million to fund key development and strategic moves, including a proposed Hong Kong listing.

Botala Energy’s Pitse Pilot well 3.5B in Botswana is producing 200 barrels of water per day with measurable casing pressure despite limited reservoir drawdown, signalling effective stimulation and promising progress toward commercial coal bed methane production.

Pure One Corporation has made strides in zero-emission commercial vehicles with new battery-swap and electric models arriving in Australia, backed by a strengthened balance sheet from a $3.5 million tranche of Turquoise Group sale proceeds.

Jade Gas Holdings has secured regulatory approvals for Mongolia’s first coal bed methane reserves, completed a A$12 million capital raise, and signed a non-binding A$1.1 billion collaboration agreement to fund initial development of its Red Lake gasfield.

NuEnergy Gas Limited has locked in a fully funded US$88 million contract with PT Beijing Energy Linking to develop its Tanjung Enim POD 1 project in Indonesia, targeting first gas sales in early 2027 under an Early Gas Sales Initiative.
