The new owner of the Equus deep-water gas project in Western Australia intends to develop the field to meet a gap in the domestic gas market from about 2022, writes Russell Searancke.
Privately-owned Australian company Western Gas bought from US independent Hess the four exploration permits and one retention lease that cover the Equus project, which it plans to develop as "a vital new gas supply (source) for Western Australian industry, businesses and households".
