Fracking frenzy builds in Kimberley

Onshore oil and gas tenements in the Kimberley, covering an area the size of the UK (24,000,000 hectares), is now under the control of just three mining companies. The three companies – Buru (funded by Mitsubishi); New Standard Energy (funded by Conoco Philips) and Kingsway Oil – control the massive mining tenements in the Canning Basin, South West of Fitzroy Crossing.

This massive increase in oil and gas tenements highlights that the proposed industrial complex at James Price Point is the first of many threats facing the Kimberley.
