Oil & Gas

Changing global markets and local community pressures are crimping the growth prospects for big gas projects but the industry is still in a boom.

Western Australia's huge – if largely unproven – potential to host massive so-called unconventional oil and gas resources has already caught the eyes of some major international energy majors.&nbsp

If you are a ‘glass half-full' person, the LNG boom has presented great opportunities for local industry, but not everyone is happy.

Shell's development of a world-first floating LNG project off the Kimberley coast is likely to be a game changer for the industry, allowing extensive ‘stranded' gas assets to be developed.

Giant liquefied natural gas projects like Gorgon and Pluto dominate coverage of the oil and gas sector, yet there are plenty of other developments under way.
