Abstract:
Knowledge of the present-day stress is important to understand the dynamics of earthquakes, and to manage the safe and sustainable usage of the underground during storage and exploitation. Eastern Australia hosts several sedimentary basins with large coal-seam gas reserves as well as mines that are critical for Australia’s energy and resources. Some of the eastern Australian basins such as the Surat, Gippsland and Otway basins have been proposed as potential CO2 storage sites. In addition, the Sydney Basin in New South Wales is one of Australia’s most seismically active areas.
