THE Northern Rivers will be dotted with thousands of coal seam gas wells if the experience of Chinchilla, Queensland, is followed, NSW Greens spokesman on Mining Jeremy Buckingham said yesterday.
Metgasco, which holds extensive exploration licences on the North Coast and plans on increasing exploration activity in the Grafton area in the near future, could not quantify how many wells it was planning on building to supply its proposed 145km Lions Road Pipline.
Metgasco managing director Peter Henderson said the company had State Government approval for 40 production wells to supply a gas-fired power station in Casino "over the life of the development".
