Beetaloo or bust: the route to commercial success for an Australian shale play

• The Beetaloo basin is a huge potential shale gas resource. It’s one of the hottest topics in Australia’s upstream sector,  but many in the market are sceptical the play will work.
• We investigate the key factors required to make the Beetaloo commercially viable, evaluating what a realistic Beetaloo gas project could look like. We analyse key cost barriers and price hurdles that need to be broached for economic success.
• We model emissions profiles as well as reviewing options for, and the cost of, dealing with CO2.
