Firm to drill for coal bed methane

MEEHAN DRILLING, the Irish-owned onshore drilling company, has entered into a heads of agreement to create a 10-year commercial joint venture with IGas Energy, a leading developer of unconventional gas resources in Britain, to drill onshore for coal bed methane.

Specialists in the provision of drilling and ground engineering services to clients, Meehan are the first Irish company to have the capabilities to drill down to 10,000 feet.

In order to drill for conventional oil and gas, deep geothermal and coal bed methane, Meehan has invested in state-of-the art machinery, including a Schramm TXD rig.
