Melbourne - 23 May 2013 - CSG

Unconventional Gas! Technical and Commercial Aspects of CSG

Although much of the commercial activity and controversy over coal seam gas (CSG) is in New South Wales and Queensland, Victoria has not been left out of the debate. AIE Melbourne Branch, Minter Ellison and Flagstaff Partners are pleased to bring clarity and balance to our understanding of this topic.

Paul Bilston, Executive Director/Consultant will dispel some of the confusion around the term ‘unconventional gas’ and put ‘fracking’ in its place. This part of the presentation will dig into the geology and engineering to build a foundation for our discussion of the commercial aspects. Over his 18 years in the oil and gas sector, Paul has held senior technical (engineering), commercial and management roles in unconventional gas in Australia (AJ Lucas, AGL and GHD) and overseas. He is currently working as Project Manager for a CSG exploration program in Gippsland.

Michel Mamet, Executive Director, Flagstaff Partners will focus on the commercial and strategic aspects of the major Australian CSG–LNG projects by reviewing their history, key sector participants, economics, risks, competitive strengths of key players, M&A activity and other factors of interest to equity markets and the broader audience. He will also consider the implications for Victoria. Michel has 14 years of experience in investment banking, advising across the primarily energy related sectors.
