Abstract opening:
The northern Perth Basin in Western Australia is experiencing a rise in subsurface and above-ground resource development activities, including natural gas, geothermal energy, carbon geological storage (CGS), underground gas storage (UGS), and groundwater extraction. The expanding industrial footprint presents opportunities and challenges, with resource developments either complementing one another or creating potential conflicts due to competing land and subsurface use. This study aims to provide a data-driven framework for evaluating subsurface resource interactions and identifying potential risks and opportunities for regulators, industries and communities…
