Queensland sets aside gas for future demand

摘要

Sydney-The government of the eastern Australian state of Queensland has decided to set aside future gas fields as required to meet domestic demand, rather than reserving a percentage of the gas in all its fields. The two options were raised when the Queensland government launched its blueprint for LNG industry development in September. The decision ensures Queensland's future domestic gas supply, while providing industry with the certainty it needs to kick off massive investment in coal seam gas-based LNG projects, the government said in a statement released November 14.
