The study has been carried out in the North Sohagpur West Coal field in different parts of Umaria and Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh. Sohagpur coal field occupies an area of 3000 sq. Km. The basin type of area is South Rewa Gondwana basin. The coal bearing unit of study area consists of Brakar Formation of Lower Gondwana. The area is of Lower Permian in age. The study has been done on the basis of Geological studies, proximate analysis and Vitrinite reflectance studies (VRo%). The main objective of the study is to get acquainted with geological field work by taking reading of Dip and Strike of exposed rocks and sedimentary structures. Proximate analysis of coal samples to know the potentiality for coal bed methane content. Vitrinite Reflectance (VRo %) study used to know the maturity / rank of the coal and Coal Bed Methane generation with depth.
