Shell well flare in Qld fires up east coast gas hopes

According to The Australian Financial Review, an apparent gas strike by energy giant Shell deep underground in onshore Queensland has fuelled industry hopes of a potential major new source of energy that could ease the threat of shortages in the tight east coast market.
Flames from a well drilled by Shell in the Taroom Trough at the southern edge of the Bowen Basin have stoked speculation that the little-known region could emerge as a new supply source that lies much closer to pipeline infrastructure than the Northern Territory’s remote Beetaloo Basin.
