The UQ Centre for Coal Seam Gas was established in 2012 to conduct research, education and consulting within onshore gas in Queensland - to the address industry, government and community opportunities and challenges.

The Centre for Coal Seam Gas recently held a meeting with the Independent Expert Scientific Committee who advises the Australian government on research about water-related CSG impacts.

The new UQ built Well Simulator Facility was launched when the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology (EAIT) cut the red ribbon to officially declare its inaugural start.

The main results of the latest annual report on Queensland's Gasfields' Communities are described in an article in the Queensland Country Life online news section.

Two ARC-Linkage research proposals in chemical engineering for coal seam gas projects have been awarded $521,385 in total.

At the 9th EAIT Postgraduate Conference of UQ, the Director of the Centre for Coal Seam Gas, Professor Andrew Garnett, presented CCSG "best in the field of unconventional gas resources" award to Phd student Ms Gloria Monsalve Bravo.

UQ CCSG Director Andrew Garnett is sharing his experience on industry engagement in a coming workshop for researchers, organised by the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture & Information Tecchnology (EAIT) at UQ.

The Australian Research Council (ARC) has awarded $165,000 for the UQ research project "Mitigation of silica nanoparticle scaling in water treatment" under the "Linkage projects" scheme.

Advanced Queensland Innovation Partnership funding awarded for bentonite abandonment plugs project, which will run for two years.
