Coal Seam Gas (CSG) is a new resource for large scale production of LNG for export markets. The Queensland CSG development will be the first in the world at a scale that competes with petroleum gas. Continuous improvement of the industry with increased efficiencies of extraction will require a significantly better understanding of Queensland coal seam reservoirs and the development of improved technologies for extraction of gas from those reservoirs.
Unique issues associated with CSG require special knowledge and human capabilities. These include the development of a better understanding of the reservoir, reservoir engineering and geophysics, together with improved technologies for handling, treatment and utilisation of large quantities of saline water generated during the extraction of gas. The industry also needs to develop capabilities to deal with community concerns over the industry’s environmental and social impacts.
UQ has diverse and substantial capabilities to assist the exploitation of Coal Seam Gas (CSG). UQ’s researchers have expertise across the value chain from resource discovery and characterisation through to environmental issues and sustainable water management to gas production and innovative gas products.
UQ recognises that strong links with industry will help progress its research priorities and ensure that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and experience required to meet industry needs and to provide leadership in the future.
