Speaker Under Invitation
"ARROW Energy says the Queensland coal seam gas industry
will in five years rival the coal sector in terms of value creation
for the Australian economy."
Adelaide Now June 9, 2008
Shaun Scott, Chief Executive Officer (Australia), Arrow Energy
By last financial year, production had increased 20-fold on ten years ago, to 86 petajoules.
Australia's coal seam gas sector has rapidly evolved over the past few months with the entry of major international players BG Group Plc, Petronas and Royal Dutch Shell. The expansion to LNG should ensure the industry benefits from rising prices and a forecast surge in global demand.
- What are the strategies being pursued by major LNG players and how does CSG fit?
- What are the challenges for LNG from CSG?
- Are there enough reserves for LNG and domestic gas demand?
- Outlook for gas prices with the twin influences of LNG and emissions trading

Growth is expected to continue, driven by increased electricity demand, rising oil prices, a desire by countries to reduce their reliance on the Middle East as a source of energy, and the 'cleanliness' of coal seam gas compared with other fossil fuels.
Steve Beardsall, Managing Director, Pure Energy
"Interest in Australia's vast CSG assets has boomed due to
surging exploration costs for offshore gas deposits and
growing difficulties for energy majors in securing access
to conventional oil and gas projects globally"
