Exploration

Queensland has emerged as one of the most abundant regions for coal seam gas in the Pacific basin. Exploration and development is concentrated in the Surat and Bowen basins, where QGC’s reserves and resources have reached more than 13 trillion cubic feet.

Our heartland is Queensland, although we have acreage in other parts of Australia.

In Queensland the business holds interests in more than 40,000 square kilometres of acreage. To date, only a fraction of the total ground under lease has been explored or developed.

Berwyndale South Gasfield

Berwyndale South Gasfield lies at the heart of Queensland's growing energy province on the Darling Downs - where power stations with a combined capacity of 4,250 megawatts are operating or under construction.

Berwyndale South Gasfield is centred on "Windibri", a 1,600 hectare property which QGC owns, 20km east of Condamine in Queensland's Surat Basin. It is connected to the Roma to Brisbane Gas Pipeline by QGC's 14km export pipeline and is also connected to the Braemar Gas Pipeline.

Argyle-Kenya Gasfield

The development of QGC's second major gasfield undertaking was fast-tracked in 2007 to meet a 10-year gas sales agreement with Incitec Pivot (IPL) and take advantage of the opportunity to meet potential new gas demand.

The Argyle-Kenya Gasfield is located 15km east of the Berwyndale South Gasfield, with development wells and associated infrastructure located within several Petroleum Leases (PL 228, PL 229 and PL 179). QGC is the operator in these leases and is the majority owner (59.375%), with joint venturer Origin Energy CSG Limited (Origin Energy) holding a 40.625% interest.

Condamine Power Station

Condamine Power Station is fuelled by coal seam gas produced at QGC's gasfields in the Surat Basin. With a potential generating capacity of 140 megawatts, the station will provide clean and efficient power for the National Electricity Market.

Condamine Power Station is located on freehold land owned by QGC. The 518 hectare property is 8km east of Miles on the southern side of the Warrego Highway.

The power station and its associated infrastructure will have a footprint of around 100 hectares.
