The Centre's Professorial chairs and students attended the China-Australia Unconvential Natural Gas Forum in Beijing early in November. This 3 day forum was a succesful event in sharing knowledge between researchers and students at UQ and at the China University of Petroleum-Beijing. It was a great opportunity for knowledge exchange and discussions on current industry technical challenges and possible future reserach solutions in Australia and China. As a result of this event collaborations have been formed between the two universities.
