## Text

353.090 Gas found beneath or between coal beds.

If gas is found beneath a workable coal bed before the hole has been reduced from the

size it had at the coal bed, a packer shall be placed below the coal bed and above the gas

horizon, and the gas by this means diverted to the inside of the adjacent string of casing

through perforations made in the string of casing, and through it passed to the surface

without contact with the coal bed. If gas is found between two (2) workable beds of coal,

in a hole of the same diameter from bed to bed, two (2) packers shall be placed with

perforations in the casing between them, permitting the gas to pass inside the adjacent

casing to the surface. The strings of casing shall in either case extend from their seats to

the top of the well.
