Abstract
The Fairview coal seam gasfield is located in central eastern Queensland, approximately 30km northeast of the town of Injune which is approximately 475km northwest of Brisbane (Figure 1). Fairview was discovered in August 1994 with the drilling of TPC Fairview 1. Since August 1994, 18 more wells have been drilled for a total of 14,455.93m with an average depth of 803.1m. The gasfield is covered by three granted Petroleum Leases (PLs) 90, 91 and 92 with eastern and southern extensions covered by two PL applications (PL 99 and 100). The five PLs and the surrounding Authority to Prospect (ATP) 526P are owned and operated by Tri-Star Petroleum Company.
