The Queensland State Government has opened ten areas for bidding, all located in the Bowen-Surat Basin, on 1 November 2018.Â  The ten areas, covering a total area of 6,628 sq km, will close for bidding on 28 February 2019.  The blocks, titled PLR2018-1-1 to PLR2018-1-11 (minus PLR2018-1-2, which was removed from the round â to be opened at a later date) are located across the Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope and Taroom Trough.Â  Two of the blocks (PLR2018-1-1 and PLR2018-1-4) are subject to âAustralian Market Supply Conditionsâ which means any gas commercialised from these areas in the future must be supplied to the domestic market.  Blocks are outlined to be prospective for a range of resources, including conventional oil and gas and coalbed methane (CBM).  An overview of the blocks is outlined below:          Block Name         Start Date         End Date         Basin Names         Block Sqkm         Remarks         Prospectivity             PLR2018-1-1         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope, Taroom Trough         152.86         Australian market supply condition         Conventional gas and CBM             PLR2018-1-3         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Taroom Trough          1043.12         Â          Conventional/unconventional gas             PLR2018-1-4         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Taroom Trough, Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope         762.85         Australian market supply condition         Conventional gas and CBM             PLR2018-1-5         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Taroom Trough         1210.76         Â          Conventional/unconventional gas             PLR2018-1-6         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Taroom Trough         441.45         Â          Conventional oil and gas             PLR2018-1-7         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Taroom Trough, Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope          356.03         Â          Conventional oil and gas             PLR2018-1-8         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope         383.52         Â          Conventional oil and gas             PLR2018-1-9         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope         467.46         Â          Conventional oil and gas             PLR2018-1-10         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Taroom Trough, Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope         977.55         Â          Conventional oil and gas             PLR2018-1-11         01-Nov-2018         28-Feb-2019         Chinchilla-Goondiwindi Slope         832.21         Â          Conventional oil and gas
