The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association says the Federal Government’s move to impose LNG export controls could increase the nation’s sovereign risk and discourage investment in exploration and production. APPEA and Resources Minister Matt Canavan have criticised state governments for restrictions on gas exploration, and APPEA estimates that there are sufficient untapped gas reserves in Victoria and New South Wales to meet demand for gas on the east coast for about 200 years.
