Australian operator Origin Energy has had an environmental management plan (EMP) accepted for a shale exploration well it plans to drill in the Northern Territory.
Joint venture partner Falcon Oil & Gas late last week confirmed the Northern Territory Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR) had accepted for assessment the EMP for the Kyalla-117 N2 well.
It added that a 28-day public consultation period for the plan had also started, with the EMP published on the DENR website.
