... Abstract Production of coal seam gas (CSG) wells relies on continuous extraction of water to depressurise coal below the desorption pressure. Progressive cavity pumps (PCPs) are common artificial lift systems for dewatering CSG wells in Queensland. These pumps are susceptible to failure...

... element (FEM-DEM) model of a single well stage was developed as the basis for this study. This synthetic well was informed by case studies from the Surat Basin, Queensland, featuring varying complexity of key geomechnical factors. These include the existence of ∼30 coal seams within a gross rock column...

... This paper assesses regulatory rules associated with drilling and completions activities in Queensland unconventional oil and gas plays. This assessment is based on a typology that classified rules into defined categories, defining their structure and what types of activities are required...

... Abstract The Walloon Coal Measures in the Surat Basin are the main target for Coal Seam Gas (CSG) production in Queensland. They are overlain by the Springbok Sandstone, although consistently identifying the boundary between these two extremely heterogeneous intervals is challenging...

... and social innovation. The method has been applied to monitor, communicate and respond to the different social and economic changes experienced by eight small towns in the CSG-rich Surat and Bowen Basins of Queensland, Australia. A selection of significant changes is outlined and then broadly compared...

... reported in Queensland since the first decades of European settlement; the first reported earthquake occurring in Cape York in 1866. The Central Burnett region, just to the north of the Surat Basin (and on different terrain), remains one of the most active regions of the State, the most recent notable...

... The Isa Superbasin is a Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic succession (approximately 1670-1575 Ma), primarily described in north-west Queensland. Despite the basin's frontier status, recent exploration in the northern Lawn Hill Platform has demonstrated shale gas potential in the Lawn...

... meaningful data. In this report we interrogate several public data sources and give several examples of analysis undertaken to reveal the regional scale trends for use in revealing unconventional exploration potential to production performance characteristics: CSG and water production data from Queensland...
