thoughts on csg and energy for the future, page-18

Gday h,

I think I was going off the pre-2009 announcements where they had previously discussed 30mD and only moderate flows from the fracced spot wells.

The stuff in the presentations that I could find indicated that they had permeability 'up to' 100mD, which is great, and even better if it is across all the seam packages - especially for the single Bohena seam. Given they havent given this detail I would remain just a little skeptical.

I definitely stand corrected.

it would be interesting to know if they were reporting the directional perm of the coals.

As you say, its all about commercialisation, and ESG has 2P to boot!

As for GTL, I have had a few discussion on this on the LNC threads. Of interest, there is a new 24h research GTL laboratory that has just started in Perth. There could be something in this one day and CSGs pure CH4 product could prove quite valuable, if oil gets high enough!
