About the Author
Steven Schatzel, PhD, is Lead Research Scientist in the Office of Mine Safety and Health Research at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in Pittsburgh.
The three editors of the publication are board members of the North American Coal Bed Methane Forum (NACBMF), and they represent industry, academia and government. Each has more than 25 years of experience in coal bed methane research, field work, and instruction. The NACBMF has organized conferences to advance mine safety and to increase production of coal bed methane as a worldwide energy resource. For 28 years the Forum has provided an opportunity for an exchange of information on coal bed methane research and technology between the public and private sectors. The NACBMF is governed by a Board of Directors and consists of representatives from the coal bed methane industry, coal and gas industries, gas marketing and service industries. The length and breadth of experience embodied in the NACBMF Board of Directors makes this group exceedingly qualified to produce this book.
Kashy Aminian, PhD, is Professor of Petroleum and Natural Gas Exploration and Engineering in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Gary Rodvelt is the chief advisor for global technical services for Halliburton Energy Services in Canonsburg, PA. He has over 37 years’ experience in hydraulic fracturing of coal seams, tight shales and conventional reservoirs for natural gas. He holds a BS degree in nuclear engineering from Kansas State University. He has been a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineering since 1980. He has published more than a dozen technical papers and co-editor of two books.
Morgan Mosser is a consultant with Mosser Resource Consulting LLC. He began his career working in the southwestern Pennsylvania coal fields for US Steel Corporation and advanced his career through various management positions with several coal companies before becoming vice president of operations at Anker Energy. He holds Mine Foreman Certificates in three states: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland. During his 28 years of experience in the coal industry he developed, operated and managed 12 surface/underground coal mines in three states. He completed a BS in mining engineering from West Virginia University and a MBA from Waynesburg College and is a Certified Project Manager Professional (PMP). Six of the projects under his management were selected for the prestigious R&D 100 Awards.
D’Amico is president of D’Amico Technologies in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He is a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He has over 40 years’ experience in gas processing and utilization. He was the president of Nitro-Tech Engineering for 30 years when he built plants to separate helium from natural gas. He was a vice president of Alfa Foundation Coal Company, responsible for processing CBM for the market. He also has expertise in producing liquid fuel, such as diesel and aviation fuel, from CBM.
