Project summary

Arrow Energy Pty Ltd (Arrow) proposes to develop coal seam gas (CSG) resources in an area that extends from approximately 30 km north of Glenden to 10 km south of Blackwater. The Bowen Gas Project forms part of the Arrow LNG Project, which involves a number of other separate but related projects including the Arrow Bowen Pipeline, Surat Gas Project, Arrow Surat Pipeline and Arrow LNG Plant on Curtis Island, which are subject to separate environmental approval processes.

The gas field has been defined as two regions:

• northern CSG fields encompassing Authority to Prospect Application (ATPA) 742, ATPA749, Authority to Prospect (ATP) 1103, part of ATP759, and ATP1031 running south from Glenden to Middlemount, located mainly within the Isaac Regional Council area with a small section in the Whitsunday Regional Council area
• southern CSG fields encompassing ATP1025, located near Blackwater and mainly within the Central Highlands Regional Council area, with a small section located within the southern region of the Isaac Regional Council area.

Development of the gas fields would generally involve drilling of production wells, construction of gas and water gathering pipelines and access tracks, central gas processing, power generation, water treatment facilities and associated water storage (feed water, treated water, oily water and brine concentrate), and high pressure gas pipeline laterals to connect the processing facilities to the Arrow Bowen Pipeline.
