The Greens fear that 500 or more coal seam gas (CSG) wells are planned for the New South Wales north coast.
Mining spokesman Jeremy Buckingham says Metgasco has reluctantly revealed its future plans for the region during hearings of the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Coal Seam Gas.
Mr Buckingham says such developments will ruin the north coast's environment.
"We believe that if they are to go ahead with their plans for the power station and also a pipeline up the Lyons Way that they would need somewhere between 500 and 1,500 [wells]," he said.
