Coal seam gas company drills wells under private property without notifying farmers

"Directional drilling under a person’s property where there is no infrastructure or activity occurring on the surface will be considered a preliminary activity for the land access framework if there is no, or only minor, impact on a landholder's business or land use activities," a spokesperson said.The ABC understands that each landholder's situation is assessed on a case by case basis.

Removing both water and gas from the ground can cause subsidence, which is what farmers on the flat, Condamine flood plain are most concerned about. If the land subsides, water may not drain properly from paddocks, and"There is significant concern that the issue of land subsidence will affect market perceptions alone," Mr Shannon said.

Farmers Gary and Zena Ronnfeldt were considering drilling a water bore, when they discovered they had gas wells under their farm to consider. "It's just not acceptable if gas companies are not having to follow the rules, it's not a free for all."

Because they know the government will allow them to break the law

Chinese company

That's illegal, arrogant a/holes.

An old trick. Texas oilers drilled under the Caribbean to siphon Venezuelan oil reserves.

the gas corp is simply walking over the local farmers as NSW allowed them They do not want to pay rent or compo They r leaking methane from the wells n pipes It would ignite if some1 is smoking or in bushfire GREED

Is this an ethnic Anglo or European or Caucasian community after 250 years of foreign White migeants from the shitholes of the White Worlds of Britain, Europe, and the Caucuses?

This news report is confusing because it says in the article that under Queensland law, a gas company is entitled to access private property to access a resource. So the only breach of law is that they weren’t notified. Cold comfort for land owners, sounds like they still lose.

They will still vote Nats in though even though they protect mining interests over anything these days.

Interesting use of the word “proactive” by Arrow. “we acted proactively by reacting to something we didn’t do”

CSG should be banned, and operators held liable for downstream disasters.
