This Record describes techniques which can be used to predict surface deformation caused by natural or anthropogenic subsurface fluid changes. Using predictive (forward) models, simulations have been developed to estimate the range of surface deformation caused by the Coal Seam Gas (CSG) extraction operations in the Surat Basin. The objectives of this research were to: - Develop a predictive model that enables Geoscience Australia to estimate the magnitude and areal extent of surface deformation caused by natural or anthropogenic fluid activities. - Report the capability, accuracy and limitations of the predictive model. - Apply the predictive model to Coal Seam Gas operations in the Surat Basin, Queensland. - Describe the monitoring techniques capable of measuring subsurface fluid changes - Discuss how geodetic data can be used to constrain the poroelastic properties of reservoirs.
