Santos Ltd., Adelaide, has received environmental approval from the Australian Government to drill development wells in its Towrie coal seam gas (CSG) project in central east Queensland.
The project will consist of 116 CSG wells in an area of 87,000 hectares in the Surat basin about 50 km north of Injune and 350 km southeast of Gladstone.
The project will supply gas feedstock to Santos’s Gladstone LNG (GLNG) plant on Curtis Island.
The project is expected to have a life of around 30 years.
