A LANDHOLDER at a meeting with Arrow Energy last weekend expressed the strong frustration of fellow Scenic Rim property owners who are blockading a coal seam gas (CSG) exploration site.
Kerry-based mixed farmer Michael Undery said he was conservative and did not usually take part in public protests.
As he found himself in the blockade facing Arrow, Mr Undery said he did not wish to speak a word until he had heard from the company. He listened carefully as Arrow presented its case.
The company said it was conducting low-level, short-duration CSG exploration in the Beaudesert-Boonah region, which consisted of drilling two exploration wells and routine rehabilitation work on pre-existing exploration wells, with activities expected to be completed next month.
Arrow said the exploration wells were designed to obtain information about the area's geology and were not used for CSG production or to produce water to surface. The company said the process took less than a fortnight to drill, evaluate and remediate.
Arrow has a land access agreement with the owner of the property being blockaded.
