“…It began as a back arc basin in the early Permian and was followed by a phase of thermal subsidence in the early late Permian [53]. In the late Permian, a foreland basin developed together with extensive coal accumulations [54,55]. The basin was later subject to a major compressive deformation and uplift episode in the Middle-Late Triassic and intruded by igneous bodies in the Cretaceous, which influenced the preservation, distribution, rank and gas content of coals [49].…”

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 Australian domestic market. In late 2018, Australia became the largest exporter of LNG in the world. 29% of the country’s LNG nameplate capacity is in three east coast facilities that are supplied primarily by coal seam gas. Six geological basins including Bowen, Sydney, Gunnedah, Surat, Cooper and Gloucester host the majority of CSG resources in Australia. The Bowen and Surat basins contain an estimated 40Tcf of CSG whereas other basins contain relatively minor accumulations. In the Cooper Basin of South Australia, thick and laterally extensive Permian deep coal seams (>2 km) are currently underdeveloped resources. Since 2013, gas production exclusively from deep coal seams has been tested as a single add-on fracture stimulation in vertical well completions across the Cooper Basin. The rates and reserves achieved since 2013 demonstrate a robust statistical distribution (>130 hydraulic fracture stages), the mean of which, is economically viable. The geological characteristics including coal rank, thickness and hydrogeology as well as the present-day stress pattern create favourable conditions for CSG production. Detailed analyses of high-resolution borehole image log data reveal that there are major perturbations in maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) orientation, both spatially and with depth in Australian CSG basins, which is critical in hydraulic fracture stimulation and geomechanical modelling. Within a basin, significant variability in gas content and permeability may be observed with depth. The major reasons for such variabilities are coal rank, sealing capacity of overlying formations, measurement methods, thermal effects of magmatic intrusions, geological structures and stress regime. Field studies in Australia show permeability may enhance throughout depletion in CSG fields and the functional form of permeability versus reservoir pressure is exponential, consistent with observations in North American CSG fields.

Abstract--Kaolinite from the Black Ridge, Clermont, has relatively low ~lsO (12.3%0 to 14.8%o) and very low ~D values with a large variation (-120%o0 to -85%0). Comparison of these data with those from the nearby Denison Trough and elsewhere in eastern Australia, together with previous studies of the mineralogy of the sedimentary rocks, suggests that extensive kaolinization of the "White Section" resulted from weathering during the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic periods. The relatively large variation in #D values of kaolinite probably derives from post-formational isotopic exchange with other fluids.The similarity between ~lsO values of kaolinites from Black Ridge and from the Denison Trough suggests that the small Miclere-Black Ridge basin may have been part of the Denison Trough before the Late-Triassic inversion. The preservation of original ~D values in kaolinite at Black Ridge indicates that unlike the Denison Trough, which was reburied at more than 1000 m, the Miclere-Black Ridge basin was not rebuffed at great depth during the Mesozoic period.
