I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question. I note that this question
was asked on 7 August.
(1) The companies that have oil and gas
holdings in the Browse Basin are a matter of public record and include a number
of the oil and gas super majors. Many of these companies have the capability to
develop an onshore LNG project, subject to proving up sufficient gas reserves.
(2)–(3) Discussions covering a range
of matters with companies operating in Western Australia, including in the Browse
Basin, are ongoing.
