Event: Sydney Residents Against Coal Seam Gas Presentation

When:    7 PM Wednesday, September 28
Where:   Barrett House, 6 Barrett Place, Randwick

Please join CASES in welcoming Sydney Residents Against Coal Seam Gas why will present to us the reasons who coal seam gas mining MUST be stopped in NSW, indeed, Australia.

Coal seam gas (CSG) is a gas consisting of around 98% methane and is formed from the degradation of plant matter over millions of years. CSG is trapped by water and ground pressure against the surface of coal in underground coal seams and is also located within pores inside the coal. The spaces between the coal are known as fractures or cleats.

Some of the fractures are interconnected and permeable which allows water and gas to move between the fractures. These Sydney Residents Against Coal Seam Mining demand an immediate moratorium on all CSG exploration and extraction until the environmental and health issues can be thoroughly researched, and all true costs have been calculate.

CSG is extracted via CSG wells that are drilled into the coal seams to release the gas trapped within the coal.
