Arrow Energy, a registered joint venture between Shell (50%) and PetroChina (50%), has announced plans to develop Phase 2 of Arrow Energy’s Surat Gas Project in Queensland, Australia.
Gas from the project will flow to the Shell-operated QCLNG LNG plant on Curtis Island near Gladstone to fulfil long-term contracts and supply domestic customers. This is part of an existing 27-year gas sales agreement between Arrow Energy and QGC. Phase 2 is expected to contribute around 22,400 boe/d (or 130 million ft).3/d) at peak production.
“The start of Phase 2 of the Surat Gas Project with Arrow is part of our commitment to bring more gas to market,” said Zoë Yujnovich, Shell’s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director. “QCLNG has reached its 1,000thth Cargo late last year, reflecting its importance as a gas supplier to Australia and the region. This investment will enable us to maintain and grow this important, secure energy source that offers a lower-emissions alternative to options such as coal.”
Phase 2 will deliver volumes to be processed through the QCLNG infrastructure and includes up to 450 production wells, a field compression station, 27 km of new pipelines and roads, and infrastructure improvements.
The first gas is expected in 2026.
