UNCONVENTIONAL GAS THOUGHT LEADERSHIP SERIES

摘要

During June, the Australian Water Association (AWA), in conjunction with the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training, presented a series of thought leadership seminars on unconventional gas. The purpose of these seminars was to bring together a number of world experts in the science of unconventional gas production and to highlight some of the issues. The seminars were held in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra and were well attended. They provided a national and international perspective on unconventional gases including coal seam gas (also known as coal bed methane), tight gas and shale gas. Collectively these gases, along with conventional gas, are processed to create Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG, as it is commonly known and used in Australia.
