> I knew about the canary. I just posted what the dictionary said hydrocarbons were. It includes coal. What's wrong with that? From the Glossary of Geology : Coal: A readily combustible rock containing more than 50% by weight and more than 70% by volume of carbonaceous material including inherent moisture, formed from compaction and induration of variously altered plant remains similar to those in peat. Differences in the kind of plant materials (type), in degree of metamorphism (rank), and in the range of impurity (grade) are characteristic of coal and are used in classification. Hydrocarbon: Any organic compound, gaseous, liquid, or solid, consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen. Coal does not contain hydrogen except possibly as an impurity. Coal itself cannot be classified as a hydrocarbon. The dictionary is wrong, which is not all that unusual when speaking of technical details. This doesn't answer the nagging question: how does their geologist know (or thinks he knows) that coal is there to be able to exclude it as a viable target? Mike
