How AGL decommissions coal seam gas wells
Since early 2016, we've completed the extensive decommissioning and rehabilitation program for our wells and infrastructure in the Gloucester region. We're also progressively decommissioning wells and rehabilitating sites at the Camden Gas Project prior to ceasing production in 2023.
