A coal seam is a dark brown or black banded deposit of coal that is visible within layers of rock. These seams are loed underground and can be mined using either deep mining or strip mining techniques depending on their proximity to the surface. These seams undergo normal coal formation and serve as a conventional coal reserves of coal are immense, and are the largest of all of ...
The Liverpool Plains remains vulnerable despite coal seam gas mining already having very real negative impacts on places such as the Pilliga State Forest and waterways such as the Condamine River. The CSG industry has a very short lifespan. The benefits it may bring are finite and the damage it may cause is permanent. The Liverpool Plains has sustained life for aeons. It is renowned for its ...
· We are particularly concerned with the damage caused by the coal and coal seam gas (CSG) mining industries. We believe that neither we, nor our governments (at all levels), are sufficiently well informed about these industries, about their true role in our economy and their impact on our health and welfare as a nation and within the diverse communities that constitute our nation. There are ...
Coalbed methane (CBM or coalbed methane), coalbed gas, coal seam gas (CSG), or coalmine methane (CMM) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The term refers to methane adsorbed into the solid matrix of the coal. It is called 'sweet gas' because of its lack of ...

Further banners we made and displayed during the 10day Kerry Blockade in January 2012 where sustained community protest from hundreds of community residents at the exploration drilling site of an Arrow well, resulted in a preelection promise from the Government to quarantine the Scenic Rim from coal and coal seam gas exploration and mining.
The NSW Government has now announced a plan to introduce a two kilometre residential exclusion zone for coal seam gas developments. This proposal is a sham and does not protect agricultural land, water chments, or any other environmentally sensitive land. CSG mining is invasive, destructive and polluting and there is well documented evidence ...

May 06, 2013 · The typical method of assessing surface mining economics for a coal seam is a calculation of overburden (native rock and soil above a coal seam) moved per clean ton of coal produced, commonly referred to as "mining ratio". The higher the mining ratio (or more overburden moved per clean coal ton), the higher the cost of producing coal.
Permanently ban Coal Seam Gas (CSG) Mining. This petition had 656 supporters. jack male started this petition to Australian Govenment. Why are Farmers, Greenies, Alan Jones, Lady Gaga and the Beatles all coming together? because the Fossil Fuels industry has gone too far and this time the people are saying NO Join us! France, South Africa and Bulgaria have banned it because the track record of ...
· The extraction of coal and coal seam gas (CSG) will generate produced water that, if not adequately treated, will pollute surface and groundwater systems. In Australia, the discharge of produced water from coal mining and related activities is regulated by the state environment agency through a pollution licence. This licence sets the discharge limits for a range of analytes to protect the ...
Subject: Prevention of inflammable gas hazards in belowground coal mines – reg. 1) Gas Drainage: A suitable premining methane drainage system shall be adopted in coal seams with gas content>10 m 3 /t to reduce gas content of coal seam .
Coal mine methane (CMM) is a term given to the methane gas produced or emitted in association with coal mining activities either from the coal seam itself or from other gassy formations underground. The amount of CMM generated at a specific operation depends on the productivity of the coal mine, the gassiness of the coal seam and any ...
