Australia's coal seam gas reserves exceed those of the Moomba and Bass Strait gas fields combined. Queensland's coal seam gas production already accounts for more than 50% of the state's natural gas supply, and continues to grow rapidly. The production of coal seam gas will escalate in coming years, particularly to provide a clean fuel for electricity generation and feed stock for liquefied natural gas to supply rapidly growing markets in Asia. As gas production increases, so too does the generation of saline water. This research will ensure that the evaporation of the saline water does not impact the underlying Great Artesian Basin, so that coal seam gas production may continue and grow.

澳大利亚的煤层气储量超过了Moomba和Bass Strait气田的总和。 昆士兰州的煤层气产量已经占到该州天然气供应量的50%以上，并且还在继续快速增长。 煤层气的生产将在未来几年逐步增加，特别是为发电提供清洁燃料，并为供应亚洲快速增长的市场提供液化天然气原料。 随着天然气产量的增加，盐水的产生也在增加。 这项研究将确保盐水的蒸发不会影响下面的大北冰洋盆地，使煤层气生产可以继续和增长。
