Abstract
The disposal of greenhouse gas by underground storage in geological formations provokes several questions of legal entitlement: to the land in which the formations occur; to the formations which accommodate the stored gas; to the stored gas; to locate these formations; to store gas therein; to deal with these exploration and storage rights, and to protect them. This chapter examines how those questions arise and are resolved, onshore and offshore, in Australia.
