There is an opportunity to reduce methane emissions from Australian, open pit, metallurgical
coal (MC) mines and substantially reduce the carbon intensity of a high-value Australian …

Against the backdrop of implementing integrated hydraulic fracturing on coal measure gas
(CMG) reservoirs, fluids can flow through interlayer fractures during drainage stage …

Since the inception of hydraulic fracturing, the industry has wrestled with the concept of over-
/underflushing and has always pitched this as a binary philosophy, attempting to …

Australia has over two decades of successful coal seam gas (CSG, coalbed methane or
CBM) developments but has failed to develop low permeability, highly compartmentalized …

An optimist says the glass is half-full, a pessimist half-empty, whereas a good engineer says
that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. There has been much debate over the years …

Coal permeability is the key discriminator in well completion selection in coal wells. Low
productivity is often attributed to compartmentalisation and pressure-dependent permeability …

This paper reviews and summarises the work that has been conducted and the technology
used in exploring and developing the Northern Bowen and Galilee basins in Queensland. It …

Low-permeability coal seam gas (CSG) wells have been the subject of laboratory research
and modelling studies over the past decade, particularly focusing on the pressure …

This paper presents the results of a well integrity research project conducted on 1,605
unconventional gas wells in Queensland Australia, and discusses the methodology …

Crushed soft coal seams have the features of low mechanical strength and broken coal
structure. Fracturing directly in broken soft coal seams, short and coarse fractures are formed …
