shale gas v. csg, page-2

MM a great synopsis fo the Dhale Gas Industry.

In particular your comment
3)Shale gas is far less controverial than CSG. The latter has constant hum of environmental isssues especially as some occurs at fairly shallow depths in arable areas and near to artesian basin... Australia's most precious resource IMO (ahead of barrier Reef). I can't contemplate us allowing this unique basin to be contaminated.

I couldnt agree with you more, there are big differences between CSG and Shale Gas when it comes enviromental issues. CSG drills tend to be shallower and can be close to water aquafiers whereas Shale is deeper and below the water aquafier. The drillhole is cased all the way and not perforated on the vertical section so less likely to have water problems.

I am banking on my ADE and NWE to bring home the bacon. Better still, the dollars.
