  • Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks
    Getting the Science Right: Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks Martin Espig Master of Arts (Hons) (Sociology & Anthropology) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Social Science Abstract Along with the current global ‘gas revolution’, Australia’s natural gas industry grew rapidly over the last decade. As part of this growth, unconventional gas reserves in the coal basins underlying the State of Queensland have been developed at a large scale. These coal seam gas (CSG) projects are expected to involve the drilling of up to 20,000 gas wells in southern Queensland alone. On a small — but likely increasing — number of the existing 9,000 wells, CSG companies apply the controversial extraction technique of hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’). One hotspot of development is the rural Western Downs region where the CSG industry’s rapid expansion and accompanying socio-cultural changes have intensified land use competition between agricultural and extractive industries, while also affecting non-agricultural landholders and regional residents. In this region and elsewhere, CSG extraction has sparked debates over associated risks, uncertainties and possible unknown environmental impacts. Based on ethnographic research in the Western Downs, this thesis addresses the resulting environmental risk controversy by examining the ‘problems of knowing’ associated with CSG developments. My analysis focuses on how a variety of actors come to know CSG and its environmental risks as well as the ways in which uncertainties and unknowns are negotiated. I particularly attend to scientific knowledge claims regarding potential environmental and health impacts.

In the heart of the Surat Basin, which is on the cusp of a $100 billion resource industry explosion. Miles and ·Pelham Park" Estate are situated right in the centre of this positive growth area. The towns throughout the area west of Toowoomba are going to have new wealth, due to 20% of Old's coal reserves & 65% of Old's gas reserves being located in the region. Predicted population increase is from 203,790 (2009) to 301,900 in 2031. The Region has over 47 major projects scheduled for commissioning before 2013, creating over 12,500 jobs. Miles and Wandoan, where cattle and crops are usually the only serious issues, are about to be over- run by multi-billion-dollar resource ventures. This will change them permanently. Already there are major developments and positive business growth in the towns of Dalby, Roma and Chinchilla. The resource & energy sectors are now adding to the established and continuing indus- tries such as water projects, power generation, rail infrastructure, farming & agriculture within this re- gion. There will be a massive demand for accommodation and services. Past history of similar boom areas has shown demand overriding supply of homes, both for permanent and rental accommodation.

    AN AUSTRALIAN FIRST – FLOOD HAZARD MAPPING ON A MASSIVE SCALE Introduction There are currently large areas of Australia where there is little or no information on current flood behaviour and this is particularly true in Queensland. Typically these areas are where there is little or no data, where there had not been any significant flood history. This all changed during the summer floods of 2010/2011 which affected more than 75% of the state. The Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry was set up to enquire into a range of matters arising from the 2010/2011 floods including the preparation and planning for floods by Governments, agencies and the community. The Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry Final Report (QFCI, 2012) identified several key recommendations particularly considering the need for a risk based understanding of floodplains; specifically about the need to live with floods rather than trying to control them. Until recently, models were unable to model much more than 10 million cells and even then the run time was very very long. A broad scale model could take weeks to run at the desired grid scale. BMT WBM is leading the way with recent innovations in flood modelling techniques which when combined with advances in consumer grade computer technology, can help engineers, emergency planners and land use planners to fill existing knowledge gaps regarding flood behaviour, especially in rural and remote locations. In addition, advances in ground surface data collection and in flood modelling proficiency represent the dawn of a new era in floodplain management in Australia where flood risks can be assessed and managed at a holistic whole of river basin level.
