MinRes aims to integrate lower-emission and renewable energy solutions across our operations, including using natural gas to drive the company’s pathway towards a more cost-effective and cleaner energy future.
Lockyer Gas Project
Following the successful exploration of the Lockyer gas field, MinRes is progressing towards developing a conventional natural gas production facility to displace diesel in our business and support the needs of the domestic and international market.
The Lockyer Gas Project proposes the extraction and processing of natural gas within MinRes’ exploration permits in the Mid West region of Western Australia.
MinRes has commenced the engineering design and approvals works for the facility.
The project will collect natural gas from conventional gas wells and direct gas via a pipeline to a central processing facility to be treated. The final gas product will be routed via an export pipeline to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline for use in other MinRes operations or sale.
Final Investment Decision for the project is expected to be by the end of FY24, which will confirm the production scale of the facility.
Combined with a significant investment in renewable energy, natural gas supports our efforts to reduce operational carbon emissions.
MinRes is undertaking a comprehensive environmental impact assessment, and the project will be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority.
