2.6.2.2.4 Review of groundwater model for AGL Waukivory Pilot Project

Parsons Brinckerhoff developed a numerical cross-sectional model using FEFLOW, as part of AGL’s approval for Waukivory Pilot Project in the Stage 1 gas field development area (AGL Energy Limited, 2014). The model objective was to assess the depressurisation of the alluvium, shallow rock and upper coal measures, due to proposed fracture stimulation and flow testing of four existing pilot exploration wells: Waukivory 11 to Waukivory 14 (AGL Energy Limited, 2014, see Figure 1, p. 91). AGL has proposed to develop a regional-scale model for the Gloucester Basin.
