Abstract

Summary

Australia is at last seeing common-sense with some of its key politicians at State level moving to remove barriers to the use of fraccing as an exploration and production technique. The most recent and politically important have been the decisions of Western Australia and the Northern Territory to allow fraccing under controlled conditions and apparently strict regulations. Based on publicly available material this extended abstract will explore exactly how far those two Governments are prepared to go in 2019 and the best indications of the areas of regulation and the conditions that will be applied.

This abstract will not address any political, social, health or cultural issues focusing only on technical scientific matters including some of the environmental aspects.
