They are a fantastic company that does a good job. Note that in the example you gave the problem related to the work of subcontractors on a water pipeline project. These workers are not the same workers who will be working the drill rigs. Ever had a bad courier who is a subcontractor for a well liked and respected organisation? Does that make the whole organisation bad?

Thankfully, regulations and good quality assurance noticed the defects in your water pipeline case. The NSW CSG industry is now one of the most highly regulated industries in Australia. You may want to have another look at the process of well casing and completion. It is stringent, thorough and rigorously cross checked before being signed off. Do you honestly think that a well won't be checked multiple times before being signed off on? You do a bad job and you lose money - even if you are arguing that any of the companies are simply profit driven, is this not enough reason to do it right?

Nobody was replying because nobody thought it was worth replying to a past which was ignorant to the processes involved in CSG exploration. next thing we'll have protests for clearing a pad for a core hole...
