Santos could drill for new gas in Beetaloo basin within weeks as Murray Watt urged to ‘do his job’

"The decision, published late last month, has prompted calls from environment groups for the federal environment minister, Murray Watt, to use his powers to “call in” the development for an assessment of its potential effects on water and threatened species under national nature laws.

Environment Centre of the Northern Territory (ECNT) executive director Kirsty Howey said she was concerned “the project is a gateway to full-scale fracking in the territory” after years of relatively slow development in the Beetaloo region south of Katherine and would add to the climate crisis."

World’s biggest miner BHP backtracks on climate action with key projects put on ice, leaked documents reveal

"The world’s biggest miner has halted or delayed projects to cut vast amounts of emissions and has quietly war-gamed options to push major climate investments in its Western Australian iron ore operations into the next two decades, internal documents show.

An exclusive investigation based on documents leaked to the Guardian and the ABC’s Four Corners can reveal that BHP, one of Australia’s biggest historic emitters, has dumped plans for a facility that could have significantly reduced emissions and has put on ice renewable projects designed to power its iron ore operations.."

In a major blow for the environment and human health NT government releases area five times size of Singapore for petroleum exploration

"The Northern Territory has released 4,000 sq km of land for onshore petroleum exploration, a move criticised by environmentalists.

The release area – more than five times the size of Singapore – is located within the Beetaloo basin, near the Amadeus gas pipeline and the Stuart Highway.

The Finocchiaro government announced the release at the North American Prospect Expo, a summit for oil and gas companies being held in Houston, Texas. Applications for exploration are open until 31 July."
