Coal seam gas company Arrow Energy will continue to explore in the Hillsborough Basin in the Whitsunday region in northern Queensland, despite finding little gas from the four holes it's drilled.
More than 60 people, including cane farmers, attended an information session to voice their concerns about the exploration and hear the company's plans.
Arrow's exploration manager Carey Bradford says the exploration results in the basin have been disappointing, but the company will keep exploring to confirm or deny the area's potential for coal seam gas production.
"The coals are poorly developed and quite ashy and the gas contents were very low," he said.
