Seismic Monitoring of NSW CSG Areas: Monitoring of seismic activity in the CSG production area of Camden and the seismicity of the region

New South Wales (NSW) Trade and Investment (now Department of Regional NSW) and Geoscience Australia established a National Collaborative Framework agreement to undertake seismic monitoring of the NSW coal seam gas (CSG) areas, as well as performing baseline seismic monitoring in the region between 2015 and 2019. Through this partnership, Geoscience Australia’s deployed and maintained additional seismic stations to identify of events of local magnitude ML 2.0 and greater within the Camden CSG field.


There is no substantive evidence that attributes higher rates of seismicity to CSG activities within the Camden CSG field. However, a significant increase in earthquake location accuracy and confidence in magnitude estimation can be achieved using the enhanced network monitoring in the Camden and Sydney Basin region. Additionally, these dense seismic networks allow the capture of critical strong-ground motions that can be used to calibrate seismic hazard models and provide input to engineering design that will reduce the risk to communities from future large earthquakes in the region.
