Australia: Santos Vice President WA&NT Addresses SEAAOC 2013

Santos Vice President WA&NT John Anderson today addressed SEAAOC (South East Asia Australia Offshore Conference) in Darwin, where he highlighted the importance of collaboration in achieving the next wave of Australia’s natural gas developments.

Mr Anderson’s address, The LNG Opportunity for Australia, looked at the future for natural gas in the Asia Pacific region, the advantage Australia has with its abundant gas resources in close proximity to rapidly increasing demand, and the key steps needed for Australia to deliver on that opportunity and ensure the economic benefits that this brings are realised.

“Be it floating LNG or coal seam gas to LNG – in Australia, we are delivering world firsts, and the skills and experience that come from doing that are invaluable and must be harnessed to ensure Australia’s abundant gas resources are unlocked to supply the region’s future energy demand.”

“Of course, with a new Federal Government in place, it is important that government works together with industry to provide the stable and correct policy settings for these opportunities to be taken up, and for Australia to leverage our LNG know-how and skills to ensure the next wave of investment becomes a reality,” Anderson said.
