Oil and gas
Oil and gas
Oil and gas are major contributors to Australia’s energy needs, and this sector is in a pivotal position to drive better environmental management and stewardship, leading the charge for a more sustainable future.
At Boobook Ecological Consulting, we have unsurpassed experience working with the oil and gas sector in the Surat, Bowen and Galilee Basins of Queensland.
We work with our partners in this sector to help them meet regulatory requirements, be equipped to achieve their environmental and sustainability targets and feel inspired to maintain a culture of continual improvement.
Over 25 years, we have undertaken hundreds of ecological assessments in all of the major gas fields in southern Queensland, including:
- BioCondition assessments
- Targets species searches
- Fauna surveys
- Fauna spotting and relocation
- Flora surveys and vegetation mapping
- Weed surveys
- Provision of technical reviews and advice
We have also been involved with small-scale pilot projects through to full-scale gas field developments involving assessments for infrastructure such as wells, compressor stations, pipelines, roads, communication towers and camps.
Our experience
Our ecologists have undertaken ecological impact assessments of proposed gas wells, water storage facilities, laydown yards, roads, pipelines, access tracks, communication towers and gas plants for the coal seam gas industry, including for major companies such as Origin, Santos, Senex and Arrow. We have been engaged directly by these companies as well as their contractors like CPB Contractors, Murphy Pipe and Civil, Downer, Decmil, RBY and FK Gardner.
A few examples of this work include:
- Pre-clearance surveys for threatened species and weeds for the GLNG gas transmission pipeline
- Property-wide or infrastructure-specific ecology and pre-clearance surveys for coal seam gas infrastructure sites for Origin Energy and the Australia Pacific LNG project area including the Spring Gully, Condabri, Talinga, Orana, Dalwogan and Gilbert Gully tenements
- Ecological assessment of the Eurombah Reedy Creek Interconnect pipeline for Origin Energy
- Numerous property-wide and infrastructure surveys for Santos and the GLNG coal seam gas project areas including the Roma, Fairview, Arcadia, Denison and Scotia tenements
- Ecology surveys for the Senex Western Surat Basin Gas Project (WSGP)
Our Fauna Spotters have also worked on over 500 infrastructure sites associated with Australia Pacific LNG, GLNG, Senex and Arrow Energy’s coal seam gas fields in Queensland’s Surat Basin. Significant projects have included:
- Santos’ CRWP Loop gas transmission pipeline (Wallumbilla – Fairview)
- Santos’ Fairview and Roma East development areas
- Petroleum lease sites in Queensland’s Eromanga-Cooper Basin
- Phase 1 and 2 of the Senex Western Surat Gas Project
- The Australia Pacific LNG Gilbert Gully project area
