The geological formation of the Jurassic period of the Surat Basin, and formations of the deeper Bowen Basin, holds significant quantities of coal resource in its coal seams. Coal mining and coal seam gas (CSG) development from these formations can potentially impact groundwater resources in the aquifers of the GAB.

Abstract. Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas and a key precursor of tropospheric ozone, itself a powerful greenhouse gas and air pollutant. Methane emissions across Queensland's Surat Basin, Australia, result from a mix of activities, including the production and processing of coal seam gas (CSG). We measured methane concentrations over

An international team of scientists mapped out methane emissions in Queensland's Surat Basin. The coal seam gas emissions were up to three times higher than some previous estimates. Other ...

Australia has relatively large supplies of coal seam gas (CSG) resources, especially in Queensland and New South Wales. CSG has been produced in Queensland from the Bowen Basin since 1997 and in the Surat Basin since 2005. Exploration has occurred in other Queensland basins, New South Wales, and other parts of Australia where there are

Abstract. In-flight measurements of atmospheric methane (CH4(a)) and mass balance flux quantification studies can assist with verification and improvement in the UNFCCC National Inventory …

More recently Senex Energy's Paning 2 vertical exploration well in the northern Cooper Basin flowed gas from a fracture stimulated Toolachee coal seam at peak flows of up to 0.09 mmscf/d. Senex estimates that the dry Toolachee coal has 2.1 tcf of gas in place (>1 tcf 3C resource estimate) across the 9,000 acre Paning structure.

Surat Gas Project. The Surat Gas Project (SGP) is Arrow's world-scale project to commercialise most of our Surat Basin gas reserves (about five trillion cubic feet). The SGP is underpinned by a December 2017 deal with the Shell-operated joint venture. This deal has allowed Arrow to take advantage of existing QGC-operated infrastructure to ...

Surat gas project is located 160km west of Brisbane in the Surat Basin, Queensland, Australia. The A$10bn ($7.1bn) project is expected to produce 5,000 petajoules (PJ) of coal seam gas (CSG) for LNG export as well as …

To produce coal seam gas (CSG), wells are drilled into underground coal seams, bringing water (CSG water) from the seams to the surface. This process reduces pressure in the seams which allows CSG to be released. The quality of CSG water quality varies greatly, however it is generally rich in salts and other minerals.

Arrow Energy first applied to mine in the Surat Basin in 2011. The gas project stretches across Queensland's Darling Downs, which is also prime agricultural land.

The gas is primarily produced from thin high permeability coals in the Jurassic-age Walloon Coal Measures in the Surat Basin and from several relatively thick Permian-age coal seams in the Bowen Basin, of which the Baralaba Coal Measures and the Bandanna formation are the most important.

The Conversation.. A study from 2017 found that air pollution from CSG mining could pose a significant threat to public health, particularly in terms of respiratory diseases A Ali, V Strezov, P Davies, I Wright (2017, Jul 21). Environmental impact of coal mining and coal seam gas production on surface water quality in the Sydney basin, …

Multi-seam co-production of CBM and coal series gas (CSG) has been widely carried out in many CBM basins across the world, such as the Alberta Basin in Canada, the Surat Basin in Australia, the ...

In April 2020, Arrow Energy sanctioned the first phase of the $10 billion Surat Gas Project (SGP), a world-scale coal seam gas (CSG) project aimed at commercialising the majority of the company's gas reserves in the Surat Basin in Southern Queensland, approximately five trillion cubic feet (TCF). With the first phase of the …

The coal seam gas (CSG) industry is expanding rapidly in the Surat and Bowen Basins of Queensland. CSG production involves pumping water from the coal seams to release the gas adsorbed to coal particles. The reduction in water pressure in the coal seams will cause some reductions in water pressure in overlying and underlying aquifers because …

The Surat Basin is a geological basin in eastern Australia. It is part of the Great Artesian Basin drainage basin of Australia. The Surat Basin extends across an area of 270,000 square kilometres and the southern third of the basin occupies a large part of northern New South Wales, the remainder is in Queensland. It comprises Jurassic through to …

Surat Basin methane is produced from multiple seam groups across the Taroom and/or the Juandah Coal Measures. For the Dalby and Roma fields sampled in this study, the top of the Walloon Subgroup is less than 100 m and 100–400 m below ground level, respectively.An average Dalby CBM well contains 20–30 m of net coal, while an …

Cumulative management area. Under the Water Act 2000 (Water Act), a cumulative management area (CMA) can be declared if an area contains two or more resource tenures, including tenures on which coal seam gas (CSG) and mining activities operate, and where there may be cumulative impacts on groundwater resulting from …
