Santos pushes ahead with NSW gas project despite Indigenous legal challenges, citing approvals and industrial energy needs.
Santos is advancing its Narrabri gas project in NSW, planning to frack natural gas beneath the Pilliga Forest and transport it 833km to Newcastle, claiming approvals are in place despite pending Indigenous legal challenges in the Federal Court.
The project, backed by NSW Premier Chris Minns as vital for industrial energy needs amid declining Bass Strait supplies, faces criticism over environmental risks, including potential contamination of the Great Artesian Basin and methane emissions.
Critics question its long-term necessity amid falling gas demand due to solar and battery adoption, corporate market concentration, and whether domestic supply would merely free up exports.
