The\nnotice shall be made on a form prescribed by the review board, and shall\ninclude a plat showing the location of the drilling unit, the coalbed methane\nwell and associated surface equipment, facilities, infrastructure, and\nimprovements, and the geographic extent of the mining operations to be\nconducted within the drilling unit. The mine licensee shall also submit an\nestimated schedule for commencing and completing mining operations within\nthe drilling unit. After a hearing the review board shall promptly issue a\nwritten determination on whether the continued operation of the coalbed\nmethane well will impede, interfere with, or present a possible safety hazard\nto the mine licensee's planned mining operations. If the review board\ndetermines that the coalbed methane well wil l impede, interfere with, or\npresent a safety hazard to the planned mining operations, concurrently an\norder shall be issued to the operators, with a copy to the mine licensee,\ndirecting the temporary or permanent plugging of the well at the operator's\ncost and such other action as may be appropriate in the circumstances.\nFollowing the issuance of the order, the review board shall promptly issue a\nmine-through certificate to the mine licensee, with a copy to the operator,\nauthorizing the mine licensee to mi ne-through the coalbed methane well and\nassociated drilling unit.\n(b) The mine licensee and all other coal interest holders having interests in the\ncoalbed within the drilling unit shall have no duty or obligation to compensate\nor pay the operator or other  interested coalbed methane parties for any causes\nof action, claims, or damages arising from the suspension or loss of coalbed\nmethane production or the plugging and abandonment of a coalbed methane\nwell and the removal or relocation of any associated fac ilities, infrastructure,\nand improvements due to mining through the coalbed methane well and\nassociated drilling unit pursuant to this subsection.\n(2) If a mine licensee files an application for a coal mine permit or seeks to modify or\namend an existing co al mine permit so as to include a geographical area containing\none (1) or more existing coalbed methane wells or any well sites for which drilling\npermits have been issued or are pending, the mine licensee shall have the right to\nmine through those coalbed  methane wells or into or through a coalbed methane\nwell and the associated drilling units and any well sites for which permits to drill\nhave been issued or applications for permits to drill have been filed but not issued in\naccordance with the provisions of this subsection.\n(a) At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to mining into or through one (1)\nor more drilling units or permitted well sites operated by a common operator,\nthe mine licensee shall notify the review board and the operator of its\nintention to mine into or through the property. The notice shall be made on a\nform prescribed by the review board and shall include a plat showing the\nlocation of the drilling unit, the coalbed methane well and associated surface\nequipment, facilities, infras tructure, and improvements, and the geographic\nextent of the mining operations to be conducted within the drilling unit. The\nmine licensee shall also submit an estimated schedule for commencing and\ncompleting mining operations within the drilling unit.\n(b) Within thirty (30) days after receiving the mine licensee's notice pursuant to\nparagraph (a) of this subsection, the mine licensee and operator shall enter\ninto a confidentiality agreement on a form prescribed by the review board and\nthe operator shall pr ovide, to the extent available, copies of all data and\ninformation necessary and appropriate to enable the mine licensee to\ndetermine the current value of each drilling unit, well site, and any associated\nassets described in the mine licensee's notice in a ccordance with the criteria\nset forth in paragraph (e) of this subsection. The information shall be in a form\nprescribed by the review board and shall include, among other things, data,\nreports, and information relating to current coalbed methane reserve\ncalculations, well completions, historic production and sales results, capital\nand operating costs, all actual land, legal permitting, survey, title, and any\nother costs and expenses directly relating to the acquisition, permitting,\ndevelopment, and operati on of each drilling unit and well site, and estimated\nwell plugging and abandonment costs of any existing coalbed methane wells.\nIn addition, the operator shall provide the review board and mine licensee\nwith copies of all agreements and leases, payment di vision orders and any\npooling agreements or pooling orders for each drilling unit and well site,\ntogether with a schedule setting forth the name, address, and working interest\nand net revenue percentages, royalties and overriding royalties, and all other\ninterests and rights of all other interested coalbed methane parties. If the\ninformation is not timely filed or is incomplete, the mine licensee may seek an\norder from the review board directing the operator to comply with the\nprovisions of this subsection.\n(c) Within thirty (30) days after receiving the information described in paragraph\n(b) of this subsection, the mine licensee and operator shall meet and confer at\na mutually agreed upon date, time, and place for the purpose of attempting to\nconclude a mut ually acceptable agreement as to the compensation due to the\noperator for any damage, impairment, or loss to each drilling unit, well site,\nand any associated assets described in the information provided by the\noperator resulting from the mine licensee's p lanned mine-through operations.\nAny compensation agreement between the mine licensee and operator for each\ndrilling unit or well site shall be approved and executed by all other interested\ncoalbed methane parties. The mine licensee and operator shall joint ly notify\nthe review board that a compensation agreement has been entered into\nbetween the parties and request that the review board issue a mine -through\ncertificate for each drilling unit and well site described in the notice. The\nnotice shall include any  terms and conditions set forth in the compensation\nagreement that the parties have agreed to incorporate in the applicable mine -\nthrough certificates. Upon receipt of the executed compensation agreement,\nthe review board shall promptly issue the requested mine-through certificates\nto the mine licensee, with copies to the operator and all other interested\ncoalbed methane parties. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement,\nwithin ten (10) days following the expiration of the thirty (30) day meet and\nconfer period, either party may request a hearing before the review board for\nthe purpose of determining the compensation due the operator and any terms\nand conditions to be imposed upon the mine licensee's proposed mining\noperations. Copies of the hearing re quest shall be sent to all other interested\ncoalbed methane parties.\n(d) Within fifteen (15) days of receiving the hearing request, the review board\nshall schedule a hearing to take place within sixty (60) days and shall notify\nthe mine licensee, the opera tor and all other interested coalbed methane\nparties of the date, time, and location of the hearing. At its election, the review\nboard may engage a qualified petroleum engineer for the purpose of\nconducting an independent evaluation of the compensation to be paid to the\noperator and all other interested coalbed methane parties in accordance with\nparagraph (e) of this subsection. The mine licensee and the operator shall each\npay one -half (1/2) of the costs and expenses for the petroleum engineer\nretained by the review board.\n(e) The review board shall determine the value of each drilling unit, well site, and\nall associated assets before and after the mine licensee's planned mine-through\noperations. In determining the amount of compensation due the operator an d\nall other interested coalbed methane parties, the review board must consider\nall relevant evidence and information submitted and the review board shall\nbase its decision solely upon the following criteria and procedures:\n1. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection, all coalbed\nmethane reserve estimates and the valuation of reserves and other assets\ndamaged, impaired, or lost due to the planned mining operations shall be\nconsistent with standard oil and gas industry accounting, engineering ,\nand reserve practices and shall be performed pursuant to the then-current\napplicable laws, regulations, policies, and guidelines for determining gas\nreserves for public reporting companies in the United States.\n2. At the hearing, the mine licensee and operator, on behalf of itself and all\nother interested coalbed methane parties, shall appear and submit\nevidence and testimony as to the value of the subject drilling units, well\nsites, and any associated assets before and after the mine licensee's\nplanned m ining operations. The review board shall only consider\ncoalbed methane reserve estimates or valuation determinations made in\nconformity with subparagraph 1. of this paragraph by a professional\npetroleum engineer with experience in evaluating coalbed methan e\nreserves and operations. All reserve estimates and any valuation analysis\nprepared by the mine licensee and operator for use in the review board's\nhearing shall be effective thirty (30) days prior to the date of the hearing.\nThe reserve estimates and valuation analysis shall be exchanged between\nthe mine licensee and operator and copies of the information shall be\nprovided to the review board and all other interested coalbed methane\nparties no less than twenty -one (21) days prior to the hearing date. Any\ncoalbed methane reserve estimates or valuation analysis prepared at the\nreview board's request shall be set forth in a written report. Copies of the\nreport prepared for the review board shall be provided to the mine\nlicensee, the operator, and all other in terested coalbed methane parties\nno less than ten (10) days prior to the review board's hearing date.\n3. All estimates of remaining recoverable coalbed methane reserves\nimmediately before and immediately after the planned mining operations\nshall consist of  proved developed producing or proved developed\nnonproducing reserves as determined pursuant to this subsection. A\ndrilling unit shall have proved developed producing reserves if the unit\nhas an operating coalbed methane well, which is completed in one (1)  or\nmore target coal seams and is producing commercial quantities of\ncoalbed methane. The drilling units total proved developed producing\nreserves before and after the planned mining operations shall be\ncalculated based on the completed coal seams within t he unit well. A\ndrilling unit shall have proved developed nonproducing reserves if the\nunit has a coalbed methane well which is completed in one (1) or more\ntarget coal seams and is fully operational and all associated\ninfrastructure such as power, gas gat hering, and water management\nsystems required to produce and sell coalbed methane in commercial\nquantities has been constructed, but the well is not producing coalbed\nmethane in commercial quantities because it either is in the dewatering\nstage or is not o perating due to factors beyond the operator's control.\nWhether a drilling unit contains proved developed producing reserves or\nproved developed nonproducing reserves shall be determined based on\nthe status of the coalbed methane well and associated infrastructure sixty\n(60) days prior to the review board's hearing date.\n4. The net present value of proved developed producing reserves projected\nimmediately before and immediately after the planned mining operations\nshall be calculated using a discount rate of twelve percent (12%). The\nnet present value of proved developed nonpr oducing reserves projected\nimmediately before and immediately after the planned mining operations\nshall be calculated using a discount rate of twenty percent (20%). The\nvaluation analysis shall also project the net present value of all revenues\nreceived, if any, by the operator during the period in which the planned\nmining operations are to be conducted.\n5. In determining the compensation due the operator and all other\ninterested coalbed methane parties for delayed or lost production, if the\ntotal projected production of the coalbed methane well is reduced so as\nnot to yield a commercially reasonable return on investment to the\noperator, but the well is still able to produce coalbed methane in\ncommercial quantities, the projected difference in the net presen t value\nof the recoverable reserves before and after mining shall be included as\npart of the compensation due the operator and all other interested\ncoalbed methane parties.\n6. In determining the value of the coalbed methane reserves impaired or\nlost due to  the planned mining operations, except as expressly provided\nherein, no consideration shall be given to undeveloped coalbed methane\nresources in coal seams which have not been completed in the subject\ncoalbed methane well or which are in coal seams below t he total depth\nof the well bore. If, however, a coal seam in the same field is producing\ncoalbed methane but the coal seam is not completed in the subject\ncoalbed methane well, the operator may submit evidence to the review\nboard for its consideration as t o the potential net present value of the\nresources within the uncompleted seam, but in no event shall the net\npresent value of those resources be discounted at less than thirty percent\n(30%).\n7. Except as otherwise provided herein, in determining the value  of\ncoalbed methane for purposes of this subsection, the gas price shall be\nthe last published price in the gas market closest to the drilling unit sixty\n(60) days prior to the review board's hearing date. If the coalbed\nmethane is sold pursuant to a gas s ales agreement or marketing contract\nin which the gas price is determined based on a published price, subject\nto any contractual adjustment, in the gas market other than the market\nclosest to the drilling unit, the gas price shall be determined based on the\nlast published price in a gas market referred to in the gas sales agreement\nor marketing contract, subject to any contractual adjustment set forth\ntherein, sixty (60) days prior to the review board's hearing date. If the\ncoalbed methane is sold pursuant to an arms -length firm or fixed price\ngas sales agreement or marketing contract, the actual sales price received\nby operator for gas sold sixty (60) days prior to the review board's\nhearing date shall be used as the gas price in the coalbed methane\nvaluation.\n8. All capital, operating, and production costs used in the net present value\ndeterminations made pursuant to this subsection shall be based on the\noperator's then current reasonable and verifiable actual costs and\nexpenses. Copies of all relevant and available cost information shall be\nprovided by the operator to the review board and mine licensee as\nprovided in paragraph (b) of this subsection. If actual cost information is\nnot otherwise available, all calculations shall be made using reasonable\nand customary costs for comparable coalbed methane operations in the\nCommonwealth and in the surrounding states.\n9. If the planned mining operations will mine through a coalbed methane\nwell or require the removal, relocation, or suspension of operation of\nother facilities, infrastructure, or improvements in a drilling unit, the\noperator and any other interested coalbed methane parties shall be\nreimbursed for all reasonable actual and direct costs, damages, and\nexpenses to be incurred due to these mining operatio ns; provided,\nhowever, that in no event shall any replacement costs and expenses\nexceed the operator's or any other interested coalbed methane parties'\nactual costs and expenses for the affected well, facilities, infrastructure,\nand improvements, as the ca se may be. The operator and any other\ninterested coalbed methane parties shall not be reimbursed for any\ngeneral, administrative, or overhead costs and expenses or any other\ncosts and expenses not otherwise allocated to the costs of the subject\ndrilling un it, coalbed methane well and the associated facilities,\ninfrastructure, and improvements. Any amounts due the operator and\nany other interested coalbed methane parties shall be reduced by the\nprojected then -current market value of such equipment, facilitie s, and\nimprovements to the extent that it can be salvaged and sold or used in\nother operations.\n10. If, prior to drilling a coalbed methane well, the mine licensee submits a\nplan to mine into or through any part of the associated drilling unit or\nwell site for which a drilling permit has been issued or is pending, the\noperator shall not proceed with drilling a coalbed methane well pending\na final decision by the review board with respect to the mine licensee's\nrequest for a mine -through certificate. When a mine-through certificate\nis issued to the mine licensee, the operator and all other interested\ncoalbed methane parties shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and\nverifiable actual land, legal, permitting, surveying, and technical costs\nand expenses incurred to acquire or lease and maintain the property and\nobtain any permits, approvals, and other agreements required to drill the\ncoalbed methane well. The operator and all other interested coalbed\nmethane parties shall not be reimbursed for any general,  administrative,\nor overhead costs and expenses or any other costs and expenses not\notherwise allocated to the costs to acquire or lease the subject property\nor permit the coalbed methane well.\n(f) At a hearing, the review board shall take testimony and ev idence from the\nmine licensee and operator, on behalf of itself and all other interested coalbed\nmethane parties consistent with the provisions in this subsection. Within\nfifteen (15) days following the hearing, the review board shall issue a written\ndecision to the mine licensee and operator determining the compensation due\nthe operator and each of the other interested coalbed methane parties in the\namount of the difference between the value of each drilling unit, well site, and\nany associated assets befor e and after the mine licensee's planned mining\noperations. If the review board determines that the mine licensee's proposed\nmining operations will result in a loss or taking of all of either the coalbed\nmethane reserves in the coal seam to be mined and all  coalbed methane\nreserves in completed coal seams in the coalbed methane well below the\nmined coal seam as provided in paragraph (e)5. of this subsection or the entire\ndrilling unit, the operator and other interested coalbed methane parties shall be\nawarded the full value of the property and assets prior to the proposed mining\noperations as determined by the review board. The review board's decision\nshall list the compensation amounts to be paid to the operator and each of the\nother interested coalbed metha ne parties for each drilling unit, well site, and\nany associated assets. The decision shall also set forth any duties or\nobligations to be performed by the parties, such as the temporary or permanent\nplugging of any well or the relocation or removal of any  surface facilities, to\nenable the mine licensee to proceed immediately with the planned mining\noperations.\n(g) Within fifteen (15) days of receiving the review board's decision, the mine\nlicensee shall notify the review board and the operator and all othe r interested\ncoalbed methane parties of its decision to:\n1. Accept the review board's decision with respect to one (1) or more of the\ndrilling units, well sites, and associated assets and deposit the\ncompensation awarded to the operator and each of the oth er interested\ncoalbed methane parties for the property;\n2. Appeal all or part of the review board's decision as provided in\nparagraph (j) of this subsection; or\n3. Withdraw notice of intent to mine into any of the subject coalbed\nmethane property and asset s. If the mine licensee elects to withdraw\nnotice of intent to mine into or through all of the drilling units, well\nsites, and any associated assets which were the subject of the review\nboard hearing, upon receiving a statement of costs from the operator, the\nmine licensee shall promptly reimburse the operator for all reasonable\nout-of-pocket engineering and legal costs and expenses incurred to\nprepare for and participate in the review board hearing and shall have no\nfurther obligations to the operator or a ny of the other interested coalbed\nmethane parties.\n(h) Within fifteen (15) days of receiving the review board's decision, the operator,\non behalf of itself and other interested coalbed methane parties, shall notify\nthe review board and the mine licensee w hether it will accept the amounts\nawarded by the review board or file an appeal with the Circuit Court in the\ncounty where the drilling unit or well site is located challenging the review\nboard's valuation of any of the property or assets.\n(i) If no appeal of the review board's decision is filed by the parties, upon receipt\nof the compensation due the operator and all other interested coalbed methane\nparties for each drilling unit and well site selected by the mine licensee for\nwhich a mine -through certific ate will be issued, the review board shall\npromptly deliver the awarded compensation to the operator and all other\ninterested coalbed methane parties for the drilling unit and well site and\nconcurrently issue the appropriate mine -through certificate to the  mine\nlicensee, with copies to the operator and all other interested coalbed methane\nparties. If the operator and other interested coalbed methane parties are\nawarded either the total net present value of the coalbed methane reserves in\ncoal seams to be mined by the mine licensee and all coalbed methane reserves\nin coal seams completed in a coalbed methane well below such coal seam as\nprovided in paragraph (e)5. of this subsection or the total value of the entire\ndrilling unit and associated assets, upon pa yment of the compensation, the\noperator and other interested coalbed methane parties shall simultaneously, if\nrequested by the mine licensee, assign and transfer free and clear of all\nencumbrances to the mine licensee all of their respective rights, title,  and\ninterests in such property and assets, as the case may be, within the drilling\nunit on a form to be prescribed by the review board. The review board shall\ntake whatever other action that may be deemed appropriate or necessary in the\ncircumstances.\n(j) If either party notifies the review board of a decision to appeal the review\nboard's valuation of any of the subject coalbed methane properties and assets\nto the Circuit Court, the mine licensee shall deposit with the review board the\ncompensation due the  operator and each of the other interested coalbed\nmethane parties for each drilling unit, well site, and any associated assets\nselected by the mine licensee for which a mine -through certificate will be\nissued. Upon receipt of the funds from the mine licen see, the review board\nshall promptly deliver to the operator and the other interested coalbed methane\nparties one hundred percent (100%) of the awarded compensation for any\ndrilling unit, well site, and any associated assets not listed in any notice of\nappeal and seventy -five percent (75%) of the awarded compensation to the\noperator and other interested coalbed methane parties for any drilling unit,\nwell site, and any associated assets for which an appeal is to be filed.\nConcurrently with delivering the awa rded compensation to the operator as\nprovided herein, the review board shall issue to the mine licensee, with copies\nto the operator and all other interested coalbed methane parties, a mine -\nthrough certificate for each drilling unit and well site for which  compensation\nhas been received. If the review board's decision with respect to any drilling\nunit is not appealed and the operator and other interested coalbed methane\nparties are awarded either the total net present value of the coalbed methane\nreserves in the coal seam to be mined by the mine licensee and all coalbed\nmethane reserves in coal seams completed in a coalbed methane well below\nthat coal seam as provided in paragraph (e)5. of this subsection or the total\nvalue of each drilling unit, well site, and any associated assets, upon payment\nof the compensation, the operator and other interested coalbed methane parties\nshall simultaneously if requested by the mine licensee, assign and transfer free\nand clear of all encumbrances to the mine licensee all o f their respective\nrights, title, and interests in that property and assets, as the case may be,\nwithin the drilling unit or well site on a form to be prescribed by the review\nboard. The review board shall take whatever other action that may be deemed\nappropriate or necessary in the circumstances to carry out its decision. All\nfunds deposited with the review board shall be placed in an interest -bearing\naccount pending a final resolution of any appeals.\n(k) Within thirty (30) days following the issuance of t he review board's decision,\nthe mine licensee or the operator, on behalf of itself and any other interested\ncoalbed methane parties, may file a petition in the Circuit Court of the county\nin which the drilling unit or well site is located or in the Frankli n County\nCircuit Court disputing the review board's valuation of all or any part of any\ncoalbed methane properties or assets pursuant to this subsection. The parties\nfiling the petition shall name as parties to the action the following: the review\nboard, the mine licensee, all other coal interest holders, the operator, and all\nother interested coalbed methane parties. Promptly upon receiving notice of\nthe petition, the review board shall deliver any remaining funds deposited by\nthe mine licensee as provided in paragraph (j) of this subsection, together with\nall interest accrued thereon, to the clerk of the Circuit Court for the county in\nwhich the petition is filed and these funds shall be deposited in an interest\nbearing account pending a decision on the petition. The decision of the Circuit\nCourt shall be made in accordance with the provisions of KRS 349.090. If the\nCircuit Court determines the operator and other interested coalbed methane\nparties are entitled to greater compensation than the amount awarded  by the\nreview board, the mine licensee shall pay the difference to the clerk of the\nCircuit Court within fifteen (15) days of the court's decision. Upon receipt of\nthe additional funds awarded by the Circuit Court, the clerk shall promptly\ndeliver to the operator and any other interested coalbed methane parties these\nfunds together with all interest accrued thereon. If the Circuit Court\ndetermines that the operator is entitled to less compensation than the amount\nawarded by the review board, the amount of the reduction shall be refunded to\nthe mine licensee together with any interest that accrued thereon. If the\nescrowed funds are not sufficient to fully reimburse the mine licensee, the\noperator and all other interested coalbed methane parties having an int erest in\nthe subject coalbed methane properties and assets shall promptly pay the mine\nlicensee for the difference between the escrowed funds and the total amount to\nbe reimbursed pursuant to the Circuit Court's order. If the Circuit Court\ndetermines that the operator and other interested coalbed methane parties are\nto receive either the total net present value of the coalbed methane reserves in\nthe coal seam to be mined by the mine licensee and all coalbed methane\nreserves in coal seams completed in a coal bed methane well below such coal\nseam as provided in paragraph (e)5. of this subsection or the total value of the\nentire drilling unit, well site, and any associated assets, which values may be\nincreased or decreased by the Circuit Court, upon receipt of t he awarded\ncompensation, the operator and other interested coalbed methane parties shall\nsimultaneously if requested by the mine licensee, assign and transfer free and\nclear of all encumbrances to the mine licensee all of their respective rights,\ntitle, and interest in such property and assets, as the case may be, within the\ndrilling unit on a form to be prescribed by the review board.\n(l) Subject to obtaining a decision by the Circuit Court with respect to any\nappeals initiated pursuant to paragraph (k) of  this subsection, the operator and\nall of the other interested coalbed methane parties' acceptance of the\ncompensation awarded by the review board and of the performance of any\nduties and obligations by the mine licensee as ordered by the review board\nshall constitute full and complete consideration to the operator and all of the\nother interested coalbed methane parties for any and all causes of action,\nclaims, damages, or losses to each drilling unit or any portion thereof, well\nsite, or any associated ass ets caused by the mine licensee, or any other coal\ninterest holder's subsequent mining operations. The mine licensee shall be\nliable for any and all injuries, deaths, or damages proximately caused by the\nmine licensee on, in, or with respect to that property.\n(3) If, after the mine licensee files a notice of intention to mine into or through any\ncoalbed methane properties or assets pursuant to subsection (1) or (2) of this\nsection, the mine licensee's coal mining permit or any pending amendment to an\nexisting permit issued pursuant to KRS Chapter 350 is withdrawn, canceled,\ndelayed, or modified so as to exclude all or any part of the geographic area covering\nany drilling unit or well site described in the mine licensee's notice, the mine\nlicensee shall promptly advise the review board and operator that it is amending its\nrequest for a mine -through certificate to exclude any property that is no longer\nsubject to a coal mine permit or a pending coal mine permit application.","path":["KRS Chapter 349"],"source_url":"https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=32729","current_through":"Includes enactments through the 2026 Regular Session","vintage":"09/05/2026","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T20:58:34Z","sha256":"1d4b4163b3f372f27d4d6a274560bd28b9aa8a87bd1ba76bdffcf8f3df53fd68","source_id":"us-ky","stale":false,"prev":"us-ky/krs-349.025","next":"us-ky/krs-349.035"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
