The Queensland government has made more than 6 700 km2 of land available for gas exploration and a new explorer looking to supply Australian-only gas users.
Mines Minister Dr Anthony Lynham on Thursday announced 12 prospective parcels of land were now open to tender across Queensland’s resource rich Bowen and Surat basins between Blackwater and Goondiwindi. “This is about keeping exploration moving in Queensland to support our post Covid-19 economic recovery. Queensland has been the leader in getting gas to Australian users, including our manufacturers, to fuel jobs."
