![BalmainLiza's tweet photo. When it comes to gas mining causing valuable cropping land to sink, the Qld Govt (via OGIA) declared in 2021 that "most of the cropping area is likely to experience less than 100 mm of subsidence by the end of 2060". And that subsidence will be "relatively uniform".

This downplaying of impacts has been weaponised by Arrow Energy, who plans to drill hundreds of gas wells across the highly fertile Condamine Floodplain.
Just 2 years later & we're already seeing subsidence of 135mm.

Of note, OGIA's UWIR 2021 subsidence modelling did not include gas desorption coal shrinkage that can account for 70-80% of the actual subsurface compaction. I.e. they were only factoring in the removal of water, not the removal of gas from the coal matrix.
Under Right to Information by @ZronR, we now see that their modelling shows up to 300mm of subsidence, in markedly non-uniform patterns, especially around deviated wells, which Arrow Energy have been profusely drilling on the Darling Downs.

Subsidence on a flat floodplain can severely alter drainage and water flow, crippling farmers' ability to grow and harvest crops.
The Arrow Energy Surat Gas Project was approved in 2013 based on their own conclusion that "subsidence as a result of CSG extraction would be unlikely to occur in the region."

Over a decade later, and despite the glaring red flags as to the devastation it presents to high production cropping in its tenure area, the project proceeds regardless, thanks to govt inertia and broken resource and environmental laws that don't allow the steam train to be pulled up before it crashes.
Farmers and the citizens of Qld and beyond will become the collateral damage if this train wreck is allowed to proceed.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GdMK8B4boAA-U6V.jpg)

New research from the University of Queensland has revealed a single abandoned coal borehole has been releasing 235 tonnes of methane into the atmosphere over the past year. https://t.co/jGTbl0f1pZ @LillieHull_ #7NEWS
Farmers are calling on the state government to address failures that are exposing them to damaging mining impacts. Claims have been made that a planning loophole means major companies can conduct work without notifying the community. https://t.co/jGTbl0f1pZ @LillieHull_ #7NEWS
A massive coal seam gas #CSG flare 🔥 by Arrow Energy at its Surat Gas Project is visible day and night from 20km away, underscoring the serious environmental consequences of CSG mining #DirtyEnergy #subsidence #methane #CountTheRealCost #WastedGas
In its 2021 Underground Water Impact Report the Office of Groundwater Impact Assessment #OGIA failed to explain a critical #geological #reality: the #lenticular #coal in my location makes #uniform #subsidence caused by Arrow Energy CSG mining #probabilistically #impossible.

Disgraceful that Public Servants in the Qld Office of Groundwater Impact Assessment label farmers facing real, tangible impacts on their livelihoods and the sustainability of their farms due to their farms sinking from coal seam gas mining as ‘ideologically opposed’ to CSG mining

Secret Qld Government modelling of subsidence to farmland from CSG mining https://t.co/GRtCWIb4Z2 via @YouTube
This secret @QldGov modelling is a major revision to their predicted surface subsidence caused by CSG mining. It should have been made public before now. The sinking will critically damage some of Qld’s best & most important agricultural land #FoodBowlNotGasHole #NotCoexistence
Interesting that Arrow Energy announced 12/08/2024 an expansion of its Surat Gas Project when DCCEEW Freedom of Information as at 18/09/2024 can’t find approval from @tanya_plibersek for any more than 250 gas wells and according to Arrow they already have that number mining CSG.
I nominate @ZronR and @BalmainLiza for standing up for long term agricultural sustainability on the Darling Downs against land subsidence and collapse of groundwater systems from CSG drilling. Thank you.
Any support out there for Zena and Liza?
@TonyHWindsor @AgForceQLD @BalmainLiza The AgForce submission to the consultation draft of the proposed CSG mining induced subsidence framework shows it is on their radar. They have summarised a huge number of problems with it and how bad it is for farmers
https://t.co/3ywNdjcy9t
Right to Info release of #CSG #mining induced #subsidence kept #secret so far by OGIA @ScottStewartMP shows how badly wrong OGIA got it in its UWIR2021 model. This is the 2030 prediction, stay tuned for how horrific OGIA predicts it will be by 2055
@TonyHWindsor @KatBarclay2 @ScottStewartMP @StevenJMiles @NationalFarmers Spoke to them in Canberra in 2021 and they have been inactive on the problem
We can no longer turn a profit on once-productive paddocks. Yet, #CSG #miner Arrow Energy who caused the #subsidence continues to profit offshore while we wait for compensation that never arrives due to inaction by Qld Resources Minister @ScottStewartMP & Premier @StevenJMiles
Arrow Energy CSG mining based in Dalby Qld has not increased the community population and is damaging productive farmland by causing it to sink, reducing farm employment with no compensation paid for farmer’s losses. It’s a gas bust not a gas boom.
Would @ScottStewartMP please explain why he’s proposed legislation to “manage” #subsidence caused by #CSG #mining which totally fails to consider farm #PsychoSocialSafety obligations under workplace laws, so farmers likely can’t lawfully farm? 🤦🏼♀️
Farmers on the Western Downs have taken matters into their own hands in their fight against mining companies. Producers say properties are still 'sinking' due to the effects of gas extraction. https://t.co/jGTbl0f1pZ @joshvanstaden #7NEWS
Handily for Arrow Energy owners Shell & Petro China, @ScottStewartMP @StevenJMiles @QldGov which claimed a decade ago that farmers would no worse off from #CSG #mining being imposed on them, have not yet legislated a #CSG #mining #subsidence management & compensation framework…
Critical deficiencies in proposed CSG mining subsidence management framework generate landowner legal liability & threaten ability to maintain insurance @ScottStewartMP it’s not coexistence it’s job losses & farm shut down @DavidCrisafulli https://t.co/THvd6vTyvo
