Talinga Area

The Talinga coal seam gas (CSG) field is located on a structural high called the Undulla Nose. The Undulla Nose is considered to be a world class unconventional gas play due to the coal properties and structural setting. The field supplies domestic gas contracts within Queensland and, also forms a key part of the initial supply to the Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) project. The first exploration wells were drilled on Talinga in 2001. Gas sales began in October 2007. This analysis values only the gas required to satisfy the domestic gas commitments from Talinga. It does not include any gas supplied from Talinga to the LNG export projects at Gladstone. For further information on the APLNG project, please see our APLNG - Upstream analysis
