This interactive Google Map provides the location of oil, gas and methane gas fields in Queensland. Scroll your mouse over the map to reveal oil, gas and methane fields in Queensland. Click on a site to reveal the type and location of the field and associated website. (Not all deposits are linked to a website). Where a cluster of deposits occurs click in the middle of the cluster to view specific field details.

When used in power generation particularly in a combined cycle system, gas fired power typically produces 50% less carbon dioxide (CO?) than conventional coal fired power plants. This fact sheets explains the gas fired electricity generation process and looks at its potential for Queensland.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a fossil fuel that when burned reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 3060% in comparison with heavier hydrocarbon fuels. This fact sheet looks at LNG, its uses, how it is produced, shipped and stored and also the regasification process.

As the urgency grows for the world to shift its energy dependence from non-renewable to a hybrid of energy fuel sources, a sound understanding of the science of the various technologies is increasingly important. Low emission energy sources which includes renewable and fossil fuel based energies such as gas and coal based energies incorporating carbon capture and sequestration are under intense discussion by policy makers worldwide.
