Metgasco, the coal seam gas company exploring the north coast region, has also criticised the ABC's data project 'Coal seam gas by numbers."
Data gathered from industry and government suggests the cumulative affect of CSG mining would see 31 million tonnes of waste salt produced over the next 30 years but Metgasco says that won't be a problem on the north coast.
CEO Peter Henderson says the information about wells his company is responsible for in Casino is not correct.
"Some have been abandoned, some have been rehabilitated, some are conventional wells, not CSG wells at all."
He says some of the information about how is coal seam gas mined is not correct either.
"That's not material to the discussion but fundamentally it's not correct."
He thinks the ABC should have shown the data to APPEA before publication to have it corrected if necessary.He questions the ABC's assessment of the amount of salt that will be produced from coal seam gas mining.
