This report is the final and overarching report of the independent review of coal seam gas
activities in NSW (the Review) undertaken by the Chief Scientist and Engineer. It presents
the main findings and recommendations of the Review along with a summary of Government
decisions regarding CSG over the time of the Review and a description of the Review
process.
The Review was commissioned on 21 February 2013 by the former Premier, in a climate of
community unease about CSG extraction.
The initial report of the Review was released in July 2013. In June 2014 the Review released
reports on related matters referred to it by Government (cumulative impacts of activities in
the Sydney Water Catchment, and placement of monitoring equipment for NSW water
resources). At that time it also released a report on whether adequate financial mechanisms
are in place to deal with possible environmental impacts from CSG and related operations.
With the release of this final report, the Review is also releasing reports on regulatory
compliance and managing risk.
In preparing these reports, the Review drew on information from a large number of experts
from around the world in a range of fields. It also consulted extensively with community
groups, industry and government agencies.
Having considered all the information from these sources and noting the rapid evolution of
technological developments applicable to CSG from a wide range of disciplines, the Review
concluded that the technical challenges and risks posed by the CSG industry can in general
be managed through:
· careful designation of areas appropriate in geological and land-use terms for CSG
extraction
· high standards of engineering and professionalism in CSG companies
· creation of a State Whole-of-Environment Data Repository so that data from CSG
industry operations can be interrogated as needed and in the context of the wider
environment
· comprehensive monitoring of CSG operations with ongoing automatic scrutiny of the
resulting data
· a well-trained and certified workforce, and
· application of new technological developments as they become available.

decisions regarding CSG over the time of the Review and a description of the Review
process.
The Review was commissioned on 21 February 2013 by the former Premier, in a climate of
community unease about CSG extraction.
The initial report of the Review was released in July 2013. In June 2014 the Review released
reports on related matters referred to it by Government (cumulative impacts of activities in
the Sydney Water Catchment, and placement of monitoring equipment for NSW water
resources). At that time it also released a report on whether adequate financial mechanisms
are in place to deal with possible environmental impacts from CSG and related operations.
With the release of this final report, the Review is also releasing reports on regulatory
compliance and managing risk.
In preparing these reports, the Review drew on information from a large number of experts
from around the world in a range of fields. It also consulted extensively with community
groups, industry and government agencies.
Having considered all the information from these sources and noting the rapid evolution of
technological developments applicable to CSG from a wide range of disciplines, the Review
concluded that the technical challenges and risks posed by the CSG industry can in general
be managed through:
· careful designation of areas appropriate in geological and land-use terms for CSG
extraction
· high standards of engineering and professionalism in CSG companies
· creation of a State Whole-of-Environment Data Repository so that data from CSG
industry operations can be interrogated as needed and in the context of the wider
environment
· comprehensive monitoring of CSG operations with ongoing automatic scrutiny of the
resulting data
· a well-trained and certified workforce, and
· application of new technological developments as they become available.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

ORIGIN OF OWC 2014
Well control is a critical feature of any drililng program and with the Gulf of Mexico market
set to boom as operators seek to extract an estimated 15 billion barrels of oil from the lower
terrtiary layer, it is more important than ever that companies have a market leading well
control program in place to ensure the safety of personnel, the reliabilty of equipment and to
protect the enviroment.
Offshore Network collaborate with the offshore community to help solve the highest priority
challenges facing the industry. We do this through intensive research with leading figures
and organizations to define the industry benchmarks that will ensure safe and efficient
operations.
We exist to facilitate a safe and efficient future for the exploration and production of oil &
gas around the globe. We do this by uniting the most influential figures in the industry to
challenge the status quo and share cutting edge innovations. This all happens at our industry
leading conferences and through our original content.
OWC 2014 was developed over a 12 week research program, consisting of in-depth primary
discussion with 45+ leading industry figures over approximately 30 hours. This approach
enabled us to build a highly focused agenda, featuring presentations by recognised and hand
picked leaders in their field.
