GAS EXPLORER AGL will use an agreement with coal explorer Gloucester Resources to carry out drilling in the Gloucester area but first it has to end a blockade by residents opposed to coal seam gas operations.
AGL has confirmed the land, south of the town, on which it wants to drill to obtain water data is owned by the mining company.
Last month, AGL and Gloucester Resources announced they had entered into access agreements for coal seam gas exploration.
Gloucester Resources has been buying up properties in the Gloucester area in recent months.
An AGL spokesman said it had an access and compensation agreement with Gloucester Resources.
AGL has to cross a rural property to get to its pilot wells drilling site but said it had an access agreement with that owner as well.
