We are fighting them on the beaches but they are coming in the back door

Dear Redhand

I fully appreciate how busy everyone is at the moment but feel that it may be important to draw attention to the WA State Government’s latest oil and gas exploration acreage
release along the Eighty Mile Beach which includes DECs RAMSAR wetlands.

This development and extension is being driven by Buru energy backed by the Mitsubishi Corporation. http://www.buruenergy.com.au/web/Projects/ This Company has been engaged in hydro fracking in the Fitzroy River Valley.

The executive director and sixth largest shareholder for Buru energy is Eric Streitberg.

He is also the chairman for APPEA http://www.appea.com.au/
and the Marine Parks Reserves Authority.

This latest release needs to be challenged by calling for Eric Streitberg’s resignation from his position with Department of Environment and Conservation.



Buru Energy plans seven-well program in Canning basin

BY Rick Wilkinson

Perth-based Buru Energy Ltd. will soon begin a comprehensive seven-well exploration-appraisal program in the onshore Canning basin of northwest Western Australia supported by joint venture partner Mitsubishi Corp.
The program includes appraisal of the Pictor oil and gas discovery in permit EP 431, drilling two exploration wells in the Yulleroo field area, two exploration wells in the Acacia field region, the Cyrene-1 exploration well in EP 438, and a well to evaluate one of the unconventional play types being delineated by Buru.
Executive Director Eric Streitberg said the company is encouraged by results of the 2010 program, especially the Yulleroo-2 appraisal, that there will be commercial accumulations found. He also believes the Canning Superbasin contains extensive unconventional reservoir potential.

  4. I guess the question for me is this:
    What is the role of fraccing in exploration?

    I believe it is used in production but, do they use it in exploration wells?

    Very good post

  5. Streitberg and Buru Energy also handed back the rights to explore for gas over Roebuck Bay to the traditional owners. Not a bad gesture .
