Shell Australia will undertake a $A500m gas well drilling program in south-east Queensland. Dubbed Project Ruby, it could comprise up to 161 new wells, which will supply gas to both the domestic and export markets. Shell has also advised that the amount of gas it supplies to the domestic market will increase by 10 per cent in 2017, to more than 75 petajoules. Meanwhile, Shell Australia chairman Andrew Smith notes that it is cheaper to ship gas from the US to Victoria than from Queensland.
