Environment statements released on Qld gas projects

Arrow Energy has lodged draft environmental impact statements (EIS) for three of its major gas projects in Queensland.

Arrow Energy is ramping up its involvement in the coal seam gas (CSG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) industries.

It already provides 20 per cent of Queensland's gas needs from about a thousand CSG wells in the Bowen and Surat Basins.

The company has now lodged draft documents to assess potential environmental, social and economic impacts of the Surat Gas Project near Dalby, a LNG plant at Curtis Island, and a 600 kilometre gas pipeline from the Bowen Basin to Gladstone.

They will be released for community review if the State Government decides if they meet the terms of reference.
