Coal seam gas (CSG)
is natural gas stored within coal seams.
Origin, as part of the Australia Pacific LNG joint venture with ConocoPhillips and Sinopec, is working to develop one of Australia's largest coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Queensland. Australia Pacific LNG holds Australia's largest CSG reserves and is the leading producer of CSG in Australia.
Australia Pacific LNG's CSG acreage is centred around the Spring Gully and Walloons areas with world-class characteristics.
CSG contributes to the provision of cleaner energy to Australia and international energy markets. For example in Queensland, CSG currently provides approximately 30 per cent of gas needs.

History
Origin acquired its first CSG interests in the Peat field in 1997, and now holds CSG permits covering over 36,000 km2 in the Bowen, Surat and Galilee basins in Queensland.
In 2008, Origin commenced a process of looking for the best global partner to assist in monetising the company's large CSG reserves and resource. This process culminated in a transaction with ConocoPhillips, which joined Origin in the foundation of the Australia Pacific LNG joint venture.
Australia Pacific LNG continues to invest heavily in Queensland through the development of its CSG operations and the proposed Australian Pacific LNG CSG to LNG export project.
Location
Origin has CSG interests located in the Bowen, Surat and Galilee Basins in southern Queensland, Australia.
