Introduction
According to the “Bowen Basin Concept Study”, these coal-bearing formations consist of many thin coal seams separated by low-permeability rock. The coal seams collectively make up a small proportion of the total thickness of the coal-bearing formation. Generally, they could be considered more techically challenging than those of the Surat Basin.
The primary Permian coal measures are:
-
Rangal Coal Measures
-
Fort Cooper Coal Measures
-
Moranbah Coal Measures
