CBM Regulatory Developments, Financing Outlook & Opportunities for other Unconventional Gas

Rapid rise of the coal bed methane or coal seam gas industry has seen Asia's coal rich governments from China, India to Indonesia introducing new CBM specific regulations to boost their growing markets.

Although China has over 30 trillion cubic metres of coal seam gas, the country is still dependent on foreign involvement in their CBM development. Foreign participation from technical expertise to capital investments have poured into the exploitation of China's unconventional gas resources including CBM and shale gas

Can China achieve their 50 billion cubic metre target by 2020 ? What are the challenges and potential of shale gas in China ?

At the same time , to satisfy China's insatiable appetite, CNPC is aggressively securing foreign long term supplies , witnessed by the recent takeover deal with Shell for Arrow Energy., a major global CBM player.

India has undertaken steps to harness domestic CBM resources. While several big players have started operations on exploration of CBM , some acreages offered even 10 years ago remains non progressive .

Recently the Coal Ministry announced that they will take back the coal mines on account that demand for coal is increasing.

What future lies ahead then for the CBM industry in India ? How can the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Coal Ministry work together for the future growth of India's potential CBM industry ?

In a bid to accelerate gas commercialisation, the Indonesian government recently proposed a new production split scheme ,

What is the response from the current producers on this proposed incentive ? Are current regulatory structures sufficiently robust to secure investments in the sector ?
