Or capped badly and never checked on and start leaking later.
And no real idea how many there are…

Same story with groundwater and mineral exploration wells...it's amazing that much of Australia hasn't simply deflated like a tyre on bike path...

If the ground is too soft around the tubing at the top of the hole, it can leak or blow the capping off. The big problem with drilling multiple holes in the same water table is that you can release the gas into the water table and it will exit somewhere else at the least resistant point.

Despite this, their carbon footprint is much lower than ours.

Yes, there are different ways to make a negative impact on the environment. 3rd world countries tend to have more pollution, western countries tend emit more carbon dioxide.

They're bullying Twiggy because he's trying to bring in green energy and invested in electrified earth moving equipment for the mining industry, he's partnered with Liebherr to test and produce prototypes, and he's also invested a bit into hydrogen.
Fortescue made goals to meet net zero targets by 2030 when it's going to be mandatory in Australia by 2050.
The big US institutional broking firms pulled their financial backing last year and tanked the share price of Fortescue, but it shows you the power and money the oil tycoons have.
One of Australia’s richest people has been named in a Texas defamation lawsuit filed by an oil and gas giant.
Andrew Forrest has been accused of conducting a smear campaign to damage the commercial interests of his rivals.
Dr Forrest, his mining company Fortescue and his charitable foundation Minderoo are not being sued but have been named in a lawsuit filed by oil and gas giant ExxonMobil in Texas.
Exxon is suing the California Attorney-General and several environmental groups over allegedly defamatory comments about the oil company’s recycling capabilities.
Dr Forrest, Fortescue or Minderoo are not being sued. Rather, Exxon claims Dr Forrest’s Intergenerational Environment Justice Fund was a party to defamatory comments, and accuses the fund of serving “private foreign interests” through its relationship with Fortescue Metals.
The lawsuit was filed in a Texas court this week. Exxon claims the Intergenerational Environment Justice Fund is actually a subsidiary of Minderoo.
“I am personally delighted Exxon has walked themselves into the court and opened themselves up to cross-examination,” Dr Forrest said in a statement.
He described the legal action as “right out of the oil and gas industry playbook”.
“The fossil fuel industry is getting increasingly desperate at maintaining its toxic grip on society. Their only priority is to maximise their profits and produce as much oil and gas as possible,” he said.
The environment justice fund is registered in Australia, but in a statement said it is not controlled by Fortescue. The comments Exxon claims are defamatory were aimed to “take action on the issue of plastic waste”, a fund spokesperson said in a statement.
As Fortescue has tried to develop green hydrogen, Dr Forrest has been critical of oil and gas companies.
The lawsuit claims Dr Forrest made illegal business suggestions to ExxonMobile representatives in 2019 when he visited a Texas factory and suggested a levy on new plastic products.
“During that visit, representatives of ExxonMobil explained that, while perhaps well intended, a voluntary agreement among industry competitors to inflate the price of their goods would be a clear violation of US antitrust law,” it says in the court documents.
Exxon also alleges Minderoo made repeated “false and deceptive statements” about Exxon’s plastics and recycling processes.
The California Justice Department says the state’s Attorney-General “looks forward to vigorously litigating this case in court”.
