The oil and gas industry welcomes a new report released by the Australian Government recognising the economic importance of Queensland’s coal seam gas industry.
The report titled ‘Review of the socioeconomic impacts of coal seam gas in Queensland’ says the “headline economic impacts of CSG development in Queensland to date are found to be net positive, and are attributable to increases in employment, income, output, consumption and government revenue”.
APPEA Chief Executive Dr Malcolm Roberts said the benefits of world-first CSG-LNG projects would never have materalised without political leadership and community efforts to work, liaise with and understand how natural gas is produced and used.
See the APPEA website for more information.
