SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Coal measures in South Australia are primarily of Permian, Triassic, Jurassic and Tertiary age. Almost all known deposits have been evaluated for coal extraction potential, but not for coal seam methane or underground coal gasification (UCG) potential. The coals fall into two broad categories; sub-bituminous C/Lignite A and Lignite B. CSG is an important source of gas in eastern Australia, and its potential is now being explored in South Australia.
