1.2.4 Catalogue of potential resource developments


Summary

There is only one potential stand-alone coal seam gas resource development currently in the Cooper subregion. This is the Strike Energy Limited and Australian Gasfields Ltd Southern Cooper Basin Gas Project (PEL 96). There are no proposed coal mining developments.

aThe record date is the most recent date for updated coal seam gas resource numbers.

bThe Petroleum Resource Management System of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (PRMS-SPE) code 2P refers to estimated quantities of proved reserves plus probable reserves (See Appendix A).

cThe status of the project within an environmental impact statement (EIS): pre-EIS, EIS in preparation, EIS submitted, EIS closed, supplementary EIS, EIS approved

dThe prospective resource has been reported for PEL 96 as 6.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). This was converted to PJ using the conversion factor for SA and NSW natural gas of 1.0845 PJ/Bcf from Geoscience Australia and BREE (2012).

eThe Society for Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resource Management System (SPE-PRMS) code 2C refers to estimated quantities of Contingent resources. Contingent Resource Estimates are those quantities of gas (produced gas less carbon dioxide and fuel gas) that are recoverable from known accumulations but which are not yet considered commercially recoverable (See Appendix A).

fThe 2C resource estimates have been reported as 93.2 and 62.2 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the Le Chiffre and Klebb-1 wells respectively (for a combined 2C resource estimate of 155.4 Bcf). This was converted to PJ using the conversion factor for SA and NSW natural gas of 1.0845 PJ/Bcf from Geoscience Australia and BREE (2012)
