Name of the Project
Surat gas project.

Location
The project is located in Queensland, Australia.

Project Owner/s
Arrow Energy, an incorporated joint venture between Shell (50%) and PetroChina (50%).

Project Description
The Surat gas project is expected to develop about five-trillion cubic feet of natural gas over its 27-year life.

Phase 1 includes more than 600 wells to be drilled from 2020, focusing on an expansion between Arrow’s current operational areas at Daandine and Tipton.

This initial phase will result in the construction of inlet processing facilities at the Shell-QGC-operated David and Harry field compression stations.

The facilities will enable Arrow to supply gas from its operational fields under the gas sales agreement. Arrow will continue to use its existing gas compression facilities at Daandine and Tipton, with upgrades to the Tipton central gas processing facility.

Phase 1 also includes upgrades and connection to water treatment facilities.

In addition to using Arrow’s existing water-treatment facilities, which will be improved through upgrades to Arrow’s Tipton and Daandine water treatment plants, Arrow will send water to the Shell-QGC operated Kenya water treatment facility.

Two new brine storage ponds will be built at the facility to support water treatment for beneficial use.

Subsequent phases will include additional wells and gathering, and construction of two new field compression stations at Lynwood, south of Arrow’s Tipton development and Girrahween, near Miles.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create up to 1 000 new jobs, including an initial 200 construction jobs during the first phase and a further 800 operational and construction roles over the life of the project.

Capital Expenditure
Not stated.

Planned Start/End Date
Construction of the project is expected to start in 2020, with first gas sales expected in 2021.

Latest Developments
Phase 1 of the project was approved in April 2020.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.
