arrow energy detects benzene in 3 csg wells, page-4

Ravi - thanks for sharing that info.

From your post:-

"QUEENSLAND Premier Anna Bligh has defended environmental safeguards for gas projects after a carcinogen was found in three coal seam gas wells".

And Tony Knight from Arrow described the levels of benzene detected in the three samples as "minute", at two parts per billion.

Hang on a moment there Mr Knight - 2 parts per billion is twice (100%) above the Australian Standard & you describe it as "minute".

Cougar Energy had 2 readings of 2ppb Benzene & was shut down in July & remains closed. Any chance of double standards existing in Queensland? Meanwhile Cougar has had the book thrown at it & possibly faces legal action or a hefty fine but big companies can exceed the Australian Standards & Anna Bligh defends them. It really makes you wonder!
