The impact of uncertainties on risks to receptors by using the new numerical methods is assessed. Prior to the availability of real-world observations or regional scale models, the error in simulations derived from coarse-gridded and grossly upscaled hypothetic, but realistic,...
-
This report attempts to provide a background paper on methane in the subsurface in relation to coal seam gas production. The report begins with a brief over view of the chemical and physical properties of methane, its occurrence in the...

Dr Moffat is focused on enabling the Mineral Futures Initiative to deliver research to answer two key questions for the Flagship and Australia: How does Australia wisely re-invest its mining royalties to ensure long-term sustainability of resource-rich regional Australia? The...
-
This project will investigate whether methane gas production within coal seams can be further enhanced by the addition of nutrients to stimulate natural microbial activity. The next phase of the program will focus on developing a more detailed and quantitative...
-
CSIRO is developing gas-to-liquid (GTL) technologies to more cost effectively develop cleaner fuels and chemical processes using Australia's abundant natural gas resources. These GTL technologies provide the nation's energy sector with the opportunity to fully utilise Australia's hydrocarbon resources, enhancing...
-
Based on experimental studies on coal properties, CSIRO has developed a rigorous dual-porosity model which accurately represents the gas flow dynamics between large scale fractures and the micropores within dual porosity media, such as coal. In the CSIRO-developed model, gas...
-
Dr Zhejun Pan is working to understand coal seam gas reservoir behaviour and developing simulators used to investigate the relationships between reservoir properties. His current research activities include: modelling of gas adsorption-induced coal swelling and its impact on coal permeability...
-
FLAMED has the capability to simulate coal seam gas migration with geomechanical behaviour. The capabilities of FLAMED have a number of deliverable outcomes including: improvement of the prediction of gas production from coal seams; the ability to investigate other geomechanical...
-
The project is intended to provide preliminary data based on field measurements and modelling of methane emissions from a sample of production facilities in New South Wales and Queensland. The primary aims of the project are to: make close-in measurements...
-
The goal of the marine research program is to understand the vulnerable components of the marine ecosystem surrounding Gladstone with a view to minimising these impacts. It is proposed that the program be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 (years...
-
The objective of this project is to improve the understanding of aquifer connectivity between the WCM, the overlying Springbok Sandstone and the underlying Hutton Sandstone. Outputs will directly contribute to the regional re-conceptualisation of the groundwater system that will in...
-
A portable rig-based apparatus and method for characterising shale formations using drill cuttings to determine how drilling fluids and shale formations will interact. The information can be used to modify drilling fluids-based on engineering analysis to minimise wellbore instability. The...
-
SIMEDWin is a mechanistic model based on the approaches used for the simulation of oil and gas reservoirs but specifically designed to represent the unique dual porosity, adsorption dominated reservoirs encountered with gas in coal. It is a multi-component simulator,...
-
The project will provide a fuller understanding of how communities respond to major developments within their region, the resources and strategies necessary for enhancing community responses, and the principal indicators of community functioning and well-being. The key objective of this...
-
Dr Konrad Miotlinski is researching managed aquifer recharge and reuse options - research on soil aquifer treatment in Alice Springs and infiltration galleries in Perth. Dr Miotlinski is also developing a environmental assessment of coal seam gas operations for the...
-
This paper examines community responses to a rapidly changing social and economic environment through the theoretical lens of community resilience. The paper adopts an integrated approach to community resilience, incorporating aspects of social-ecological systems and psychological adaptation to change, to...
-
Evaluating the feasibility of using managed aquifer recharge re-use to treat the produced water from CSG production and re-injecting it into the aquifers beneath Roma in Queensland's Western Downs. If successful, this project will be Australia's largest potable water managed...
-
This project aims to develop an understanding of the occupational, public health and environmental risks associated with chemicals either used in or mobilised by hydraulic fracturing for coal seam gas in an Australian context, providing an evidence base for determining...
-
The main aim of this project is to develop a process that will help to understand trade-offs between CSG-related opportunities and impacts on a local and regional scale. It will quantify the impacts of CSG development on the mass and...
