Coal Seam Gas Mining and Groundwater

摘要

The growth of Australia's coal seam gas industry has been rapid in its speed and scope. Billions of dollars are pouring into regional parts of southern Queensland and northern New South Wales as global miners rush to exploit vast reserves of methane gas buried deep underground in coal seams. Thousands of wells are being sunk, hundreds of kilometres of pipes laid and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities built to feed a thriving export industry.
