The permit areas, WA-364-P, WA-365-P, WA-366-P & WA-367–P, are located on the Exmouth Plateau, 160 to 480-km northwest of the Western Australian coastline. The Plateau is the deep-water frontier of the Carnarvon basin, Australia’s premier petroleum basin, which includes the North West Shelf and Greater Gorgon resources. Chairman of the Shell Companies in Australia, Tim Warren, said “Shell is delighted to have secured this acreage. Australia is an important part of Shell’s regional and global growth ambitions for gas. Shell is a global leader in LNG and a long-term player in Australia. We are keen to add more integrated gas to our portfolio and are looking to discover more gas around the LNG hubs where we already have a presence, eg: Gorgon, Browse, Sunrise and the Timor Sea. “We believe these two technically strong and successful companies form an ideal partnership to unlock the potential of the area. “The planned 3D seismic and drilling programme will exploit the comprehensive deepwater gas experience that the two companies can bring to bear,” Mr Warren said.
