Growth in Natural Gas Sector
Australia’s natural gas industry is seeing significant expansion with major infrastructure projects boosting its global energy position. Large-scale facilities located in key regions are playing a vital role in processing and exporting natural gas to meet international demand. These developments enhance Australia’s capacity to supply substantial LNG volumes, reinforcing its status as a reliable energy provider. The focus on increasing production capabilities is strengthening the country’s role in the global market, ensuring a steady and secure supply for major international buyers. The growing energy sector highlights Australia’s strategic importance in the evolving global energy landscape. These factors are intensifying the Australia natural gas market growth. For example, the North West Shelf facility, operated by Woodside Energy Group Ltd., is a major player in Australia's natural gas market. Located in Western Australia's Pilbara region, the AUD 34 Billion project has delivered over 6,000 LNG shipments since 1989. It processes enough gas annually from the Indian Ocean fields to satisfy the LNG demand of a mid-sized importer like Spain.
Expansion of Natural Gas Production
In Australia, the natural gas market is experiencing significant growth as key projects are approved to increase production capacity. Major facilities on the East Coast are expanding to meet both domestic and export demands. New developments include the drilling of additional wells, infrastructure upgrades, and the construction of new pipelines, which are expected to enhance the overall output. These expansions are set to boost gas production, ensuring a steady supply to existing LNG export terminals. This growth strengthens Australia's position as a leading player in the natural gas market, particularly on the east coast, reinforcing its role in global energy trade and helping to meet rising global demand. For instance, in August 2024, Shell and PetroChina's joint venture, Arrow Energy, approved the Phase 2 expansion of its Surat Gas Project in Queensland, Australia, with first gas expected by 2026. The project will produce 22,400 BOE/D of gas, feeding Shell’s Queensland Curtis LNG facility to meet domestic and export demand. The expansion includes up to 450 new wells, infrastructure upgrades, and a new pipeline. The project solidifies Arrow’s role as a major natural gas producer in Australia’s east coast market.
