(a) Australia currently uses conventional gas resources from offshore fields for
its LNG production.
(b) Shale gas is an onshore natural gas that is trapped within shale formations (i.e. fine-grained sedimentary rocks). (c) Coal seam gas, also known as coal seam methane (CSM), is an onshore natural gas released after removing water from the coal seam which reduces water pressure and allows the gas to be released from the coal seams. |
