COAL MINE PROJECT OPPORTUNITY

Mohuda CMM Project at Bhatdee Colliery Mine and Murilidih 20/21 Pits Bharat Coking Coal Limited (B.C.C.L.) Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India
OVERVIEW OF COAL MINE PROJECT OPPORTUNITY:
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) operates in the Jharia Coalfield in Jharkhand, India. The project owner is seeking assistance in pre-drainage and drainage development. Bhatdee and Murulidih collieries in Mohuda area are nominated as a site for CMM/AMM activities for the following reasons: 1. The area is known to be highly gassy. 2. No mining is currently occuring at Bhatdee, constrained by gas issues. There was an explosion of firedamp on September 26, 2006 and since then the mine has been closed. 3. The area is close to ONGC-CILs CBM field. 4. There is an area to the south-east of virgin coal and gas suitable for primary gas capture 5. Spontaneous combustion is an issue.

MARKET ANALYSIS / DEMAND ANALYSIS

Due to high economic growth in the last five years, electricity demand has increased more than 8% annually in the states of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Industrial development, rural electrification and greater access of electricity to the populous has driven this demand in electricity. Both of these states are making a transition from primary energy consumption (like wood and coal) to electricity and petroleum-based fossil fuels. Asansol, Durgapur, Dhanbad, and Bokaro are the most industrialized areas in West Bengal and Jhakhand states. Prospective industrial consumers include a large number of steel plants, manufacturing industries, fertilizer plants, power plants, coal washeries and mining industries, all of which are located near the project areas. The state electricity regulators have stated certain plans for phase open access to the consumer having an electricity requirement of more than 1 MW, making it more likely that industrial consumers paying more today will switch to cheaper and more reliable electricity sources such as CMM. The exploration and development of CBM sources in the region will drive CMM development by building an integrated natural gas pipeline network, connecting the major mining regions and providing the availability of CMM utilization for residential and commercial uses.
