Coalbed methane (CBM or coal-bed methane), [1] coalbed gas, or coal seam gas (CSG [1]) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. [2] In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The term refers to methane absorbed into the solid matrix of the coal.
In the 2009/10 financial year investment in the coal seam gas industry increased 43% compared to the previous financial year. [27] In 2010, it was announced that the Curtis LNG Project at Gladstone would process coal-seam gas transported via a 540 km underground pipe from the Surat Basin into liquified natural gas for export.

Aside from its aviation fuel business which was retained, Shell's remaining Australian activities are in upstream businesses, comprising exploration, liquified natural gas (LNG) and onshore coal seam gas. Shell holds large reserves in the North West Shelf, Gorgon, Browse Basin, onshore coal seam gas Surat and Bowen Basins in Queensland.
Linc Energy also planned to build a 20,000 barrels per day (3,200 m 3 /d) gas-to-liquid plant on the Arckaringa Basin in South Australia. [21] The plant was to be designed by Aker Solutions and it was to be fed by synthesis gas produced by underground coal gasification. [22] BP had an option to buy 70% of the produced diesel fuel. [23]

The discovery well, the Scotia 3, was drilled in 1996. It was the first well drilled to test the late Permian coal seam gas play. Coal seam methane gas production started in 2002. Under a 15-year contract the field supplies CS Energy's gas-fired power station. [11] Total investment to date is approximately A$65 million.
The company has a gas plant called Kenya, which is located near Tara, Queensland. [6] Three coal seam gas fields Lauren, Codie, and Kate are associated with the Kenya plant. [7] Leakage testing conducted in April and May 2010 found more than half of the wells in these gas fields were leaking extremely low level concentrations of methane. [7]
Gladstone LNG (GLNG) is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Queensland, Australia. It is a leading project in the conversion of coal seam gas (coalbed methane) into LNG. [1] The project was announced in July 2007. [2] Its first LNG tanker load departed 16 Oct 2015. [3] The second LNG production train began making LNG on 26 May 2016 [4]
