A comprehensive 3-year scientific study into the air, water and soil
impacts of hydraulic fracturing in Queensland coal seams has found few
to no impacts on air quality, soils, groundwater, and waterways.
The study also found current water treatment technology used for
treating water produced from coal seam gas wells is effective in
removing hydraulic fracturing chemicals and naturally occurring
(geogenic) chemicals to within relevant water quality guidelines.
Research objectives for “Air, Water and Soil Impacts of Hydraulic
Fracturing in the Surat Basin, Queensland,” conducted by the CSIRO’s Gas
Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA), were
developed in response to community concerns about the potential for
chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations to affect air quality,
soils, and water resources.
