coalbed, the casing shall be seated and mudded off as above provided at least thirty

(30) feet below the second workable coalbed. If gas is found between the two (2)

workable coalbeds, it shall be treated as prescribed by this chapter. After any such

string of casing has been properly seated, drilling may proceed immediately.

(2) When a coalbed methane well is drilled through the horizon of a workable coalbed

where the coal has been removed, the hole shall be drilled at least thirty (30) feet

below the workable coalbed, and shall be of a size sufficient to permit the placing of

a liner, which shall start not less than twenty (20) feet beneath the horizon of the

workable coalbed and extend not less than twenty (20) feet above it. The largest

hole. Cement shall be placed in the bottom of the hole to a depth of twenty (20) feet

to form a sealed seat for both liner and casing. Following the setting of the liner,

drilling may proceed. If it is necessary to drill through the horizon of two (2) or

more workable coalbeds where the coal has been removed, the liner shall be started

not less than twenty (20) feet below the lowest horizon penetrated and shall extend

to a point not less than twenty (20) feet above the highest horizon penetrated.
