Abstract:
The commercial production of coal seam gas (CSG) in Australia commenced in 1996. Since then its production has ramped up significantly, particularly in the last five years, to become an integral part of the upstream gas industry in eastern Australia.
The major growth in both CSG reserves and production has been in the Bowen and Surat basins in Queensland. However, an important reserve base has been built up in New South Wales in the Clarence-Moreton, Gloucester, Gunnedah and Sydney basins. There has been modest CSG production from the Sydney Basin for some years, with production expected to commence in the other three basins by 2010.
