The future of the Santos Barossa gas export project is uncertain after the company was accused of not properly consulting Indigenous people on a remote island 250 kilometres from Darwin.
A claim that Santos has not properly consulted Indigenous people on a remote island 250 kilometres from Darwin threatens to further derail its key Barossa gas export project where approval issues have already put drilling on hold for a year.
Santos chief executive Kevin Gallagher bought US-major Conoco Phillips’ northern Australian assets to increase Santo’s share of Barossa.After the full Federal Court rejected Santos’ appeal in December 2022 offshore regulator NOPSEMA advised all oil and gas companies to agree to a consultation process with people affected by their proposals.
The Adelaide-based company has been paying to keep an expensive drilling rig on standby near Darwin for almost a year while it lost its Federal Court appeal, launched an extensive round of new consultation on the Tiwi Islands, and then resubmitted a revised plan to the regulator in July.
