The proposal is to conduct a seismic survey for petroleum within Exploration Permit 351, located about 200 km north of Perth. The company proposes to test for petroleum in an area lying immediately to the west of Watheroo National Park. A total of 70 km of seismic traverses is planned. Portions of the survey may encroach into the western side of Watheroo National Park, parts of Flora and Fauna Reserve 27872, and an area proposed as a national park to link the Watheroo and Alexander Morrison...

The proposal is to develop the Tubridgi Gas Field to supply natural gas to the existing Dampier to Perth pipeline. This would require the establishment of processing facilities on site near Onslow and an 85 kilometre connecting pipe to join into the main line. The gas field is about 36 square kilometres in area and lies under Urala Station pastoral lease, about 25 km south-west of the town of Onslow. It is estimated that up to 30 terajoules of gas per day could be collected over a field life of... Read more...Last updated: September 10, 1990
The proposal is to provide reticulated gas to the public in the Mandurah area using standard air/gas mixing and storage facilities at SECWA's site in Gordon Road, Mandurah. The plant will provide an initial gas reticulation system to allow a customer base to be established. Further planning is to provide a connection to the Perth-Bunbury natural gas pipeline when the customer base is large enough to warrant the capital investment. The plant is similar to one operating in Albany... Read more...Last updated: December 20, 1989
The proposal is to drill an exploratory oil well at a site 6 km offshore from the mouth of the Ashburton River and 20 km west of Onslow. Drilling is expected to begin in December 1989 and will take about three weeks to complete. The proposed site lies within a Special Protection Locality in water about 10 m deep. The Ashburton River delta is regarded as being environmentally sensitive because of the presence of mangrove stands. As well, islands, fringing corals, and seagrass meadows nearby have...

Proposal to undertake a seismic survey in an area which partially overlaps the south-eastern corner of Cape Range National Park. The proposal involves 12.9 km of seismic survey in the National Park using the vibroseis technique. This would require some ground disturbance, primarily by walking a bulldozer along the survey lines with its blade raised in order to press the vegetation down rather than clearing it. Three 50 m drill holes would be required but no drilling mud or additives would be... Read more...Last updated: November 1, 1988
