Hot air: A fall in the world gas price has caused revenue to plummet, despite rising production

The Coal Seam Gas Extraction industry has experienced significant volatility over the past five years. Technological developments have reduced the cost of exporting natural gas as LNG, and encouraged investment in export facilities and new gas fields in Queensland. Three international consortiums have invested over $60 billion in constructing three gas liquefaction and export facilities on Curtis Island near Gladstone, QLD, and in associated gas wells and pipelines throughout the state. The world's first LNG produced from CSG was exported by Queensland Curtis LNG in late December 2014.Large-scale CSG reserves in the Bowen Basin and the Surat Basin in Queensland have been developed in tandem with these export facilities...read more.
