19. CSG development
CSG Then
Lauren field in the Surat Basin was developed the way it was, during the drought
years, in a manner that fitted both the landholder and the CSG company at the time
CSG Now
The Berwyndale field in the Surat Basin has been developed more recently, and
demonstrates how CSG proponents work closely with landholders to optimise
the layout infrastructure to minimise the impact on their farm productivity
