中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社9月5日悉尼报道,澳大利亚的西澳大利亚州环境部长周二宣布,西澳大利亚州将禁止陆上水力压裂作业。西澳大利亚州将研究与这种钻井技术有关的风险,这使得西澳大利亚州成为澳大利亚第5个限制陆上水力压裂作业的州。 澳大利亚维多利亚州已禁止水力压裂作业以及页岩气和煤层气勘探作业,而北部地方、新南威尔士州和塔斯马尼亚州也已中止陆上水力压裂作业。 尽管澳大利亚的天然气供应危机日益加剧,但这种供应危机仍在持续。澳大利亚东部地区的大部分天然气供应都来自于煤层开发。 然而,农民和环保组织担心地下水储量可能会被常规和非常规陆上天然气钻井作业所耗尽或污染。 李峻 编译自 路透社 原文如下: Western Australia Halts Hydraulic Fracturing, To Probe Risks Western Australia state (WA) will ban onshore hydraulic fracturing while it looks into the risks associated with the drilling technique, its environment minister said on Tuesday, making it the fifth Australian state to restrict the process. The state of Victoria has banned hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, as well as shale and coal-seam gas exploration, while the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Tasmania have moratoriums. The blocks come despite a growing gas supply crisis in Australia, where a large portion of supply in the continent’s east is drawn from coal seam developments. However, farmers and environmental groups are worried that groundwater reserves could be depleted or contaminated by both conventional and unconventional onshore gas drilling.
