Abstract:
The Cooper Basin of Australia is a world-class unconventional gas resource with estimated gas resources of 29.8 trillion cubic feet. However, the production of this gas is challenging as the significant gas resources are located in deep coal seams, which are poorly cleated and characterised by extremely low matrix permeability. Feasibility of gas production from the Cooper Basin Deep Coal Gas (CBDCG) play was demonstrated by Santos; however, its commercial viability is yet to be proven.
