[1] A composite unconventional gas system is a hydrocarbon resource characterised by multiple potential reservoir types within the gas saturated zone. For example, it may be a stacked shale gas and coal seam gas resource.

[2] Lost gas: gas content calculated using time the sample desorbed before being placed into the test canister, and the rate of desorption during the testing period

[3] Measurable gas: gas content measured during the test period

[4] Residual gas: gas content measured following crushing the sample following desorption testing, or calculated using desorption results

[5] Strike Energy Limited reported the prospective resource as 8.2 to 21.5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which has been converted to PJ using the conversion factor of 1.0845 PJ/Bcf, which is the conversion factor for SA and NSW gas used in Geoscience Australia and BREE (2012).

[6] Strike Energy Limited reported the 2C resource estimate as 155.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf), which has been converted to PJ using the conversion factor of 1.0845 PJ/Bcf, which is the conversion factor for SA and NSW gas used in Geoscience Australia and BREE (2012)

[7] Strike Energy Limited reported the prospective resource as 6.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which has been converted to PJ using the conversion factor of 1.0845 PJ/Bcf, which is the conversion factor for SA and NSW gas used in Geoscience Australia and BREE (2012)
