I don't know much about it myself, however, if memory serves, KS coal beds tend to run 2 - 10 feet in thickness with widely varying quantties of methane depending on a lot of factors, overburden, fracturing, carbon content, etc. Typical methane fields are in sandstone or limestone and may be 10's to 100's of feet thick. I would have to check on the gas content of old Kansas coal mines to see how gassy they were. That may give an indication as to the potential gas content available to the wells.. I doubt, the wells would have been drilled unless the coal bed methane potential was already known.

There is a technology of CO2 injection which promises to enhance methane recovery. Other than that I know very little.
