COAL SEAM GAS
Coal Seam Gas (CSG), also known as Coal Seam Methane, occurs naturally within coal deposits. The gas, largely composed of Methane, is held within the coal under pressure.
Australia’s extensive coal basin deposits contain large resources of CSG, particularly in Queensland and New South Wales. The coal seams are held under pressure by the static head of water, and so it is the removal of water that is the key to the gas release.
