"They don't allow it in Queensland any more under most circumstances".......

That IS because there are new and better ways to handle excess water and from my understanding the water disposal methods are continuing to be improved all the time...

ALSO of interest is the fact that the water issue usually improves over time with most CSG wells.I have come across this quote time and time again in my research.......

"To produce coal seam gas (CSG), wells are drilled into underground coal seams, bringing water (CSG water) from the seams to the surface. This process reduces pressure in the seams which allows gas to be released.
The quality of CSG water quality varies greatly, however it is generally rich in salts and other minerals.
The amount of CSG water produced over the life of a project is known as the ’water production profile’. This profile is linked to: the volume of water in the coal seams; the permeability of the coal seam; and, the rate and volume of gas production. The rate at which CSG water is produced is generally the highest in the early stages of a well’s productive life and declines over time.
The volume of CSG water produced at each well and across a CSG project will change over time. Because of this, the management of CSG water is likely to require a number of approaches or solutions working together.
These management solutions may vary through the life of the operation, and will often be different between geographical areas. This is because of the differing geological characteristics of the coal seams, the proximity of the extraction site to available beneficial uses, the qualities and characteristics of the surrounding environment, and the quality of the CSG water"
