Coal Seam Gas – Australia Pacific LNG
The coal seams are generally filled with water and it is the pressure of the water that keeps the gas as a thin film on the surface of the coal. The technical term for this is 'adsorption'. Natural gas in coal seams in Australia is not a new discovery. It was first identified when coal mining began in the early 1900s.

Coal seam gas water
To produce coal seam gas (CSG), wells are drilled into underground coal seams, bringing water (CSG water) from the seams to the surface. This process reduces pressure in the seams which allows CSG to be released. The quality of CSG water quality varies greatly, however it is generally rich in salts and other minerals.
