Black Warrior Basin

Coalbed methane of the Black Warrior Basin has been developed and in production longer than in any other location in the United States.

[2] The coalbed methane is produced from the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Coal Interval.

The western margin of the basin lies beneath the sediments of the Mississippi embayment where it is contiguous with the Arkoma Basin of northern Arkansas and northeastern Oklahoma.

[4] The region existed as a quiescent continental shelf environment through the early Paleozoic from the Cambrian through the Mississippian with the deposition of shelf sandstones, shale, limestone, dolomite and chert.
