In September 2018, GISERA partnered with the Northern Territory Government to deliver independent and transparent advice on gas development in the Territory.
This project will use autonomous emissions monitoring stations to quantify fugitive methane emissions from well construction and completion activities from unconventional shale petroleum exploration in the Beetaloo sub-basin.

This project will develop a water management framework with a focus on identifying sustainable options for managing onshore gas wastewater in the Northern Territory. The outputs from this framework include fit-for-purpose management and water treatment alternatives that consider costs, and high-level environmental and social outcomes.
