A$10bn Surat gas project gets green light

Energy major Shell has taken a final investment decision to develop the first phase of integrated coal seam gas (CSG) company Arrow Energy’s A$10-billion Surat gas project, in Queensland.

The company said on Friday that the decision would bring up to 90-billion cubic feet per year of new gas to market at peak production, which will flow to Shell-operated Queensland Curtis gas (QCG) project, to be sold locally and exported through its plant on Curtis Island.
