IC 14-37-4-8 provides an opportunity for potentially affected persons to submit written comments or objections to the Oil & Gas Program on any pending permit application for drilling and operation of a coal bed methane well in Indiana. This table lists all of the coal bed methane applications currently pending in our office.

Clicking on a column heading will sort the list of pending applications by that value. To download and view a copy of the coal bed methane permit application, click on the permit number highlighted in the table.

In order to be considered, comments or objections must be in writing and received by the Oil & Gas Program before the end of the comment period specified for the permit. Be sure to include your name, address, and phone number. You may submit the comments by email, or you may mail them to:
