Buru Energy is all set for a significant exploration program in the Canning Basin targeting 97 million barrels of oil which will entail exploration wells at Kurrajong and Rafael and ongoing development of the Ungani Oilfield.
The company announced that the contract for seismic as well as a three well drilling program is expected to be awarded within weeks.
Natural gas and the jobs it can create has the potential to be an economic and environmental strength for Australia but only with the right regulatory environment and if the misinformation stops, APPEA Chief Executive Andrew McConville has warned.
Using his keynote address at the Australian Domestic Gas Outlook conference, Mr McConville said there was an enormous opportunity to create thousands of jobs and help Australia reach zero net emissions by 2050.
Mineral Resources has been awarded two highly prospective gas exploration permits in the Perth and Northern Carnarvon Basins.
The award is a boost to MRL’s strategy to secure its own natural gas supply to provide energy security for current and future MRL mining operations at lower-cost and with lower emissions to replace diesel use across the business.
MRL said it has committed to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2050 and is presently developing the roadmap to achieve this target to be achieved.
