Special China CBM section in O&G JournalThis week's issue. Doesn't mention "Storm Cat". Notes:

Most early efforts focused on coal mines with low-permeability and were unsuccessful.Challenges that still face CBM development in China include complex reservoirs, restricted permeability, and a limited gas pipeline network.7 Well testing in the complex geology of Eastern China indicates that coal beds in this area have widespread restricted permeability, generally below 1.0 md."
