''Northern Territory Cultural Heritage Clearances
With the lifting of the fracking Moratorium,implementation of Pepper Inquiry recommendations and very good work by the Gunner Government in limiting the impacts of COVID-19 in the Northern Territory, 2021 is looking to be an active drilling season for the oil and gas sector in the Beetaloo and Greater McArthur plays, with both Santos,Origin and Empire flagging active drilling and testing campaigns together with the proposed corporate consolidation play of the small to mid-tier Operators in the NT (Tamboran Resources, Pangaea and Sweetpea).Notwithstanding the grant of suspensions to work programs in our Northern Territory permits, third party (quasi-Government body) cultural heritage investigations have commenced to allow Cultural Heritage certification for the proposed 2D seismic acquisition contained in work programs for these permits. This work is being undertaken by the Aboriginal Area Protection Authority (AAPA) in the Northern Territory and is a key process to obtain Northern Territory Government approval for the regional 2D seismic acquisition programs which are part of the currently suspended permit work programs.A process of community engagement must also be undertaken, in due course,as part of the Government requirement for a social/community licence''
