China produced 17.1 billion cubic meters (BCM) of methane sourced from coal seams in
2015, of which 4.43 BCM is from wells drilled from the surface. This level of production is a …

Coal seam gas (CSG), also known as coalbed methane (CBM), is an important source of
gas supply to the liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporting facilities in eastern Australia and to …

The unusual present-day crustal stress pattern of the Australian continent has been the
subject of scientific debate for over 25 years. The orientation of maximum horizontal present …
