An Environmental Evaluation was undertaken to determine if the release of treated CSG water to the Condamine River is having an impact on aquatic ecology associated with temperature differentials and to determine the spatial extent of the temperature mixing zone...
-
The study investigated opportunities for the disposal of saline water, including non-treated disposal options and brine disposal. Markets for trona, halite, calcium carbonate and combined salt were investigated and economically evaluated with consideration to a range of treatment technologies. The...
-
Collation of all existing information on hydrocarbon presence in the Surat and Bowen Basin formations, and gathering of additional data where there are data gaps to ensure that there is a scientifically defendable explanation for possible future hydrocarbon findings prior...
-
The purpose of this study was to develop an associated water management strategy to identify potential urban and industrial water users that could benefit from associated water use. Three urban customers and five industrial users were identified that were interested...
-
Inferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite based ground movement studies over extent of Surat and southern Bowen basin leases. Base lining completed, operational data being captured for periodic assessment. APLNG is independently undertaking high resolution studies over injection sites.
-
A study involving modelling and review by a panel of experts in soil chemistry, salinity and hydrology, examined the soil and drainage impacts and the sustainability of irrigation with water of different salt contents, which might be used if CSG...
-
The receiving environment monitoring program is collecting a significant data set which is used for the monitoring, management and determination of potential impacts (both positive and negative) to aquatic ecology in relation to the release of treated CSG water to...
-
Development of an optimised water strategy to maximise the beneficial use of treated CSG water (via irrigation, aquifer injection and some minor uses such as construction and industrial emergency water supply) with managed discharge to the Condamine River.
-
In response to the challenges in establishing cover vegetation on disturbed land for the control of erosion, work conducted by the Ecoturf project is being applied to the CSG industry trialling varieties of turf on constructed earthen embankments.
-
The pre-feasibility assessment of a pipeline from Reedy Creek WTF adjoining QGC, Xstrata Coal and the Glebe weir. The option considered environmental condition of the pipeline, economic cost/benefit and drafted commercial arrangements.
-
Sustaining turtles and dugongs and their habitat - establish baseline data on distribution and abundance of sea grass within Port Curtis. Understand the movement and feeding habitats of turtles and dugongs in Port Curtis and environs.
-
Biodiversity impacts knowledge hub for Queensland - develop an online ecological overview of the region, and use it to discover the kinds of Biodiversity impacts information that connects with communities' needs and expectations
-
Suite of interconnectivity studies including centrifuge permeameter analysis at UNSW/NCGRT to determine vertical permeabilities and Quarts Helium diffusion studies at CSIRO to determine insitu vertical hydraulic flow velocity.
-
This study assessed the feasibility of discharging up to 35 ML/d of reverse osmosis (RO) treated water into the Condamine River from the Walloons CSG field. The most desirable discharge point was found to be Chinchilla Weir.
-
Monitoring regional transition - synthesise existing knowledge on the nature of rural socio-economic transitions occurring as a result of resource developments, and track the social impacts of regional economic change.
-
Research on Pongamia (a tree for biodiesel being used in one of the Origin CSG irrigation projects) has been conducted by Origin, CSIRO, Pacific Renewable Fuels and the University of Queensland over three years.
-
Collaboration with government and independent consultants to investigate potential sources and mechanisms for gas observed bubbling within the Condamine River, and set up long term monitoring programmes.
-
The water grid option involves the development of a small water distribution network with a major mine being the main user along with other mines, towns and selected agricultural users.
-
This study used a rapid assessment approach to compare options. The assessment approach referred to as SOAM (Strategic Options Analysis Model) is based on triple bottom line reporting.
-
To develop an integrated water model to provide deterministic and probabilistic mass balance modelling of hydrological impacts of APLNG CSG water management solutions.
-
To identify and confirm the technical and economic viability of potential solutions to convert brine into commercial grade products through a Pilot Project program.
-
An experiment was developed to allow testing of the degradation of pond lining membranes under simulated conditions to be experienced in brine ponds
-
The pre-feasibility assessment considered the reinjection of raw and treated produced water into the aquifer system of the Surat Basin.
-
Direct toxicity assessment of treated CSG water and boron as it relates to the aquatic ecology of the Condamine River.
-
Technical and economic feasibility assessment of injection of brine into fractured basement geological formations.
