Coal Seam Gas Extraction in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Bursting at the seams: Strong demand from global markets has boosted industry revenue

Revenue for the Coal Seam Gas Extraction industry has been significantly volatile over the past five years. Technological developments have reduced the cost of exporting natural gas, encouraging investment in export facilities and new gas fields in Queensland over the past decade. Three international consortiums have invested $69.7 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. Queensland Curtis LNG exported the world's first LNG produced from CSG in late December 2014, with five other LNG export trains becoming operational over the three years through 2016-17.

Companies in the industry extract natural gas from coal seams. Coal seam gas (CSG) extraction involves non-convectional techniques such as hydraulic fracturing, which is also known as fracking. Exploration, well drilling, and natural gas processing and transmission beyond the wellhead are not included in the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry's key players and their market shares.
