J. M. Huber adopts WellDog services for Powder River basin coalbed methane development

Significant Economic and Time-Value Benefit Realized.

Laramie, Wyo (February 19, 2009)—GST-WellDog announced today that its services have been implemented by J. M. Huber Corp. as a standard coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir evaluation tool in the Powder River basin of Wyoming.

“WellDog’s technical services have become a significant component of our CBM reservoir analysis in the Powder River basin,” J. M. Huber said in a company statement.

After six years of dramatic growth, CBM drilling in the Powder River basin has slowed substantially in the last two years.  Faced with more complex geology and longer dewatering times in new areas, as well as increased water and wildlife management regulations, many operators are turning to GST-WellDog for help in focusing their development efforts on economic CBM targets.

“As we move away from our core producing assets into areas where lengthy dewatering times are expected, WellDog services provide a fast, accurate and relatively cost-effective means of capturing data on gas saturation, critical desorption pressure and gas content,” J. M. Huber stated.  “Integration of these and other data provides Huber Energy with a reliable method of economically evaluating our CBM assets.”
