Abstract | Extracting coal seam gas (CSG) is becoming increasingly common in Australia and throughout the world. With the number of wells in Queensland alone increasing from 10 in 1995 to 4,484 by 2013 and 20,000-40,000 more expected to be drilled in the next 20 years, the production of methane from CSG is forecast to become one of Australia’s largest export commodities within the next decade. There is, The study found the majority of components in CSG dam sediments are benign, and soil washing removes or partially removes most inorganic contaminant species from CSG dam sediments; the study also found that these contaminants were mostly transferred to the flushing solution, which can be treated separately and potentially reused for livestock drinking water or irrigation water or recycled into |
