Energy NL, which has a partnership with Royal Dutch Shell, says interest in Queensland’s emerging coal seam gas sector is continuing despite turmoil in global economic markets.
Arrow Energy Australian chief executive Shaun Scott said many new companies not already in the market and who had missed out on acquisitions in the past 12 months are vying for land.
“There are still plenty of players out there who are hungry to get their hands on reserves and resources,” Mr Scott told reporters on Friday.
“There are still a number that want to take positions.”
Royal Dutch Shell – Europe’s largest oil company – Malaysia’s Petronas, UK-based BG Group and US-based ConocoPhillips have taken positions in the industry through takeovers and partnerships with local firms.
Each group has separate plans to convert coal seam gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export to lucrative Asian markets.
The town of Gladstone, about 550km north of Brisbane, is shaping up as Australia’s new LNG hub, with the Queensland government earmarking the Curtis Island site as a designated LNG precinct.
Arrow formed a partnership in June with Shell, which will take a 30 per cent stake in Arrow’s Australian coal seam gas tenements for $US388 million ($A604.08 million).
Shell will also take a 10 per cent interest in Arrow’s international assets for $US66 million ($A102.76 million).

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
