  • Shell Energy Australia – Has Expanded Our Gas Trading Portfolio Into the Southern Domestic Gas Market, Introducing Competition
    2020 Biennial review into liquidity in wholesale and gas pipeline trading markets AEMC – consultation on scoping paper SHELL AUSTRALIA RESPONSE 20 February 2020 Shell is a global group of energy companies, with its headquarters in The Hague, the Netherlands. Shell operates in over 70 countries around the world and has been investing in Australia since 1901. Australia continues to be a priority market for Shell’s investment as Australia trends towards greater electrification in line with consumer needs for a lower-emissions energy system. On the east-coast, Shell has a majority interest in and operates the QGC-LNG project in Queensland. Through this project we have a strong presence in the east-coast gas market, supplying both domestic and LNG customers. The energy trading venture – Shell Energy Australia – has expanded our gas trading portfolio into the southern domestic gas market, introducing competition. We also operate the 144MW Condamine Power Station in the National Electricity Market (NEM). The recent acquisition of ERM Power as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Energy Australia, further unlocks growth opportunities to support the NEM as it transitions to more renewable flexible generation and storage. Long-term success of both the Australian economy and companies such as ours will be highly dependent on our ability to anticipate the types of energy and technology needed to support a reliable, flexible and cost-effective electricity grid. As investment in renewable generation continues to grow, natural gas will have an important role as a fuel source for gas-fired generators to provide firming and security services to the grid.

  • Australia Gas Policy
    Australia Domestic Gas Policy Report Prepared For The DomGas Alliance Prepared by Glen Gill, MD November 2012 Australia Domestic Gas Policy Report DomGas Alliance Australia Domestic Gas Policy Report This report has been prepared by Innovative Energy Consulting Pty Ltd (“IEC”) for the DomGas Alliance (the “Alliance”) to assist in their ongoing review of the current state of Australia’s Domestic Gas Policy vis-a-vis the impact of growing LNG exports from Australia and the relatively unchecked behaviour of gas explorers and producers. This report also compares Australia’s domestic gas policy to other large gas exporting regions and nations overseas that have developed economies. Among other things, this report aims to provide information, concerns and an informed view on the unintended consequences resulting from a lack of effective domestic gas policies in Australia. Gas resource-rich developed economies that export gas, either pipeline gas supplies or LNG, tend to have comprehensive gas export policies in order to ensure a long term supply of abundant reasonably priced gas is available to the domestic market of the exporting country or region, as the case may be. Gas resources, in such countries, are primarily owned by the crown; consequently the best long term interest of the general public, the citizens of gas exporting countries, must be sought and that typically means that the domestic gas market receives the primary benefit from those resources and therefore exports to competing countries and economies are permitted only if and when gas resources and production capacity are deemed to be surplus to the long term needs of the domestic gas market.
