Abstract:
Alternative Exploration in the Denison Trough
State Gas was formed in 2017 to develop an historic shallow gas resource at PL-231 Reid’s Dome in the Denison Trough. The company used simultaneous inversion to define the extent of the gas and identify further exploration targets. Between 2018 – 2020, State Gas tested the coal-seam gas potential of the Reid’s Dome Beds in PL-231 and subsequently tested the Bandanna Coal measures in the newly awarded ATP-2062. In September 2021, State Gas entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Rockminsolutions Pty Ltd to evaluate the Buckland Tableland Volcanics within EPM-27596 which partially overlies ATP-2062. The permits contain a significant area with potential for carbon mineralisation using the “CarbFix” process which can permanently store CO2 removed from produced gas or from the atmosphere.
