Why not a political career? If he has the Australian citizenship..... ;-)

Australia is the second largest gas exporters conventional and unconventional dont tell me that this will change in the near future

so everybody should buy a e- car by next year we china japan india the power we get from wind and solar.... SIMPLE

the 16 + or so recommandations is for my gusto caveat enough!

Newtofo that makes sense ! Tactical prelude.

The Article is positive but it's from march 2017 so there was no finding from the Inquiry then. I hope for a positive outcome these week....good luck to all

me too😬

More crap from the greens...but at the end of the article the statement from Gunner is worth reading it. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-22/green-groups-call-for-nt-climate-policy-as-emissions-rise/9573404

Government working to make NT attractive for business In a statement to ABC Rural, NT Minister for Primary Industry and Resources, Ken Vowles, responded to Mr Wagner's claims, stating the Government was working with industry to make the Territory an attractive place for resource companies to do business. "We understand time is money for the resources industry. That's why we are working to streamline processes and reducing information duplication requirements," he said. With the reviews underway, as well as a current moratorium on unconventional fracking, a local environmental lobby group said it would have liked to see more discussion around approval frameworks at the conference. Alex Read, policy officer with the Arid Lands Environment Centre based in Alice Springs, said the lack of environmental speakers was telling. "The discussion has been a little narrow and is lacking on the consideration of the broad environmental and social implications of petroleum and mineral exploration," he said. "It would be good to have a dedicated space to talk about the process of environmental regulation and approvals, and maybe a discussion about the history of the industry in the NT and how it needs to modernise and develop to prevent certain legacy and contamination issues."

Mirabeau do we finally see some light at the end of the tunnel :-)

NTNEWS.COM.AU � Northern Territory fracking gains support MARCH 21, 2018 A NEW poll has found there is overwhelming support in Darwin for lifting the ban on fracking � but across the Territory the issue remains divisive. The poll places further pressure on the Gunner Government � who enacted a moratorium following its election in August 2016. The Government is waiting on the final report of the independent scientific inquiry headed by Justice Rachel Pepper before deciding the future of an onshore gas industry. Support for lifting the ban is the highest it has ever been in four years, according to polling obtained by the NT News. Forty eight per cent of Darwin respondents to the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association commissioned poll were in favour of lifting the moratorium compared to 38 per cent. Another 14 per cent were undecided Darwin. The strongest opposition to lifting the ban is in Katherine where 56 per cent of respondents say it should remain compared to 30 per cent who want it lifted. In Alice Springs 48 per cent supported maintaining the moratorium while 31 per cent wanted it lifted. Alice Springs had the largest undecided at 21 per cent, well above the 14 per cent for Darwin and Katherine. Across the NT support for lifting the ban was 43 per cent compared to 42 per cent with 14 per cent undecided. APPEA NT/SA director Matt Doman said the poll suggested support for the industry was growing as Territorians focus on the economic challenges facing the NT. �It suggests the fracking inquiry process has helped address concerns on any environmental impacts of our industry and the manner in which they can be effectively managed, mitigated or eliminated altogether,� he said. �After lengthy public discussion, many previously undecided Territorians are now recognising the local opportunities our industry could bring to the NT. That�s not just jobs, work for local businesses and royalties to Traditional Owners, but revenue to government that will enable the delivery of much-needed community services and infrastructure.� The polling was completed by Crosby Textor. It is the third round of polling Crosby Textor has completed over four years. Respondents were asked: �The NT Government is currently conducting an independent inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing in the Territory � sometimes called the �fracking inquiry. �The inquiry�s draft final report says that the risks associated with onshore gas can be minimised to acceptable levels and, in some instances, eliminated altogether. �Given this, to what extent do you agree or disagree that the moratorium on the onshore gas industry in the Territory should be lifted?�

While Shell is a joint venture partner with Woodside at Browse, its most advanced LNG growth projects are further afield. The projects at the head of the queue for Shell are the Lake Charles project in Louisiana and the LNG Canada project on the Pacific coast of North America. The major wildcard facing the next wave of LNG developments is Qatar, which rivals Australia for the title of world�s biggest LNG producer. The Middle Eastern nation last year lifted a 12-year-old self-imposed moratorium over the development of the huge North Field gas reserve and could grow its output substantially, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has also said he wants his country to become the world�s biggest producer of LNG. Shell�s bullish outlook for LNG is predicated on the expectation that gas demand will continue to rise as the global population grows larger and wealthier at the same time as countries get more serious about tackling air pollution. Mr Hill expects LNG demand to grow in tandem with renewables, with the gas to help even out fluctuations in wind and solar supply while also meeting demand from industry and transport that can�t be met through renewables. Shell�s thesis is supported by the surge in LNG demand from China last year, which grew its LNG consumption by about 50 per cent in a year it was forecast to increase only moderately. That growth comfortably absorbed the additional LNG supply that came into the market, helping underpin LNG prices in the process. �For the people who say there�s an oversupply of LNG and there�s a glut of LNG, the evidence doesn�t really support that,� Mr Hill said. �LNG supply is growing very, very rapidly, but the market is also growing rapidly. The market demand is easily keeping up with the growth in supply, and therefore the balance in the market is pretty even.�

After spending past few years digesting the massive wave of new LNG investments and navigating through the plunge in oil prices, Australia�s LNG sector has in recent months once again started to talk about growth. Woodside is working on options that would see the long-undeveloped Browse and Scarborough gasfields off WA processed through the company�s existing LNG facilities on the WA coast � and potentially support an expansion of its Pluto LNG project � while Santos has started talking about opportunities to feed more gas into its Darwin LNG joint venture.

THE AUSTRALIAN � SOURCE � Australia will miss next wave of LNG developments, Shell warns PAUL GARVEY MARCH 11, 2018 Shell�s Prelude floating LNG tanker. Shell�s Prelude floating LNG tanker. Australia is likely to miss out on the next multi-billion-dollar wave of new liquefied natural gas developments, senior Royal Dutch Shell executive Steve Hill has warned, with the nation�s potential growth projects set to struggle to compete against rival proposals in the Middle East, Russia and Africa. Speaking to The Australian in Singapore, Mr Hill said Australia had plenty of gas to supply both growing domestic markets and LNG exports, but warned the next crop of potential developments was unlikely to be competitive. Shell, which has interests in the North West Shelf, Prelude and Gorgon LNG projects in Western Australia as well as the coal-seam gas-fed Queensland Curtis LNG plant, is increasingly bullish on the outlook for LNG after a highly anticipated glut in supply was comfortably absorbed by the international market last year. China�s concerted efforts to drive down pollution drove a 50 per cent uplift in its consumption of LNG last year, while many other countries � particularly in Asia � are emerging as LNG buyers as they tackle their own pollution and energy security issues. But while Shell is forecasting the international LNG market to more than double in size by 2035, the oil giant does not believe Australia will attract the sort of large-scale investment it witnessed over the past decade. Mr Hill nominated the Middle East, Russia and east Africa as the regions most likely to support the development of new and expanded LNG projects, and said Australia was unlikely to figure prominently either as a source of new supply or additional LNG trains. Instead, Australia�s LNG industry is likely to centre on connecting undeveloped fields into existing LNG plants that are running out of gas. �I consciously didn�t mention Australia,� Mr Hill said. �As some of the older projects start to see a decline in their existing supply arrangements, there�s clearly an opportunity for new fields to go in and keep those LNG plants running and keep supply in the market. But it�s not obvious that Australia would be competitive compared to some of the other alternatives I mentioned for new investment.� While the Australian gas industry has come under scrutiny in the past year due to rising domestic gas prices, prompting the Turnbull government to introduce new powers that allow it to cap LNG exports if needed, Mr Hill said he believed Australia had �plenty of gas� to meet its domestic needs and support LNG exports. After spending past few years digesting the massive wave of new LNG investments and navigating through the plunge in oil prices, Australia�s LNG sector has in recent months once again started to
