Shell and PetroChina looked set to gain an important presence in Australia's nascent coal seam gas industry on March 22, 2010 as Arrow Energy recommended an increased 3.15 billion USD takeover offer. The energy giants offered 4.70 Australian dollars (4.30 USD) a share for Arrow's Australian assets including the country's biggest holding of methane gas from underground coal seams, which is set to become a major export.
