Background
Buru Energy is considering developing a floating LNG terminal (FLNG) in Kimberly, Australia, which would derive gas from the Raphael gas resource in the Canning Basin 80 kilometers southeast of Broome. A pre-feasibility study has been conducted and found that an FLNG off the coast of Kimberly could be timely and cost-effective, according to the sponsors.
In 2013, protests caused Woodside Energy to abandon a similar proposal 50 kilometers from Broome. Australian Broadcasting Company reports that Martin Pritchard, director of strategy at conservation group Environs Kimberley, said the plan could re-ignite protests in the region.
As of May 2023, Buru Energy had yet to submit an application to the government for the facility.[2]
