Bore spurting raw methane

A bore in QLD which has dropped from 1500L/hr to 300L/hr, in a few years – and since 3 gas wells started drilling nearby. The aquifer below this bore has been fractured at depth, with the result that it constantly rumbles and spurts raw methane into the air. Every few minutes it erupts into a geyser like this; the gas reading detector we were holding went beserk, and said it was emitting between 10,000 and 100,000ppm of gas.
