Understanding the integrity of Queensland’s coal seam gas wells: Cements, steels and microbial activity

This fact sheet describes a CSIRO research project designed to bring together information on materials used in cements and casings in coal seam gas (CSG) wells along with microbial activity that may impact CSG well integrity.

Investigating Beetaloo Sub-basin shale formations to improve long-term integrity of decommissioned gas wells

This project will assess the ability of shale formations in the Beetaloo Sub-basin to self-seal or ‘creep’ over time after gas well decommissioning, creating a natural barrier to movements of hydrocarbon fluids.
