Australia Embarks on Coal Seam Gas, the Next E&P Frontier Down Under



Santos, one of the oldest and largest companies in Australia, anticipates drilling about 200 CSG wells in Queensland this year using 14 drilling rigs, two frac spreads plus other workover equipment. The aerial photo features a Santos frac site in Arcadia Valley, Queensland.

Down under and far away, Australia is a land unto itself. From its vast outback to verdant farmland to a bustling coastline, it is a place defined by great distances and differences that pose a unique set of challenges for the country’s energy market. A longtime and steady producer of oil and gas in conventional onshore and offshore fields that remain significant, Australia is looking to new and unconventional resources to chart its future.

On the east side of this expansive and geologically diverse country, coal seam gas (CSG) drilling is ushering in a new era of hydrocarbon development and bringing in a wave of contractors and service companies that have not traditionally had a presence in the region.
