Surat Gas Project
Delivering essential energy, creating jobs, supporting communities.
The Surat Gas Project (SGP) is Arrow Energy’s 27-year project to produce essential energy to power Queensland and beyond.
To support growing energy needs and the global energy transition, Arrow is developing the SGP in Queensland’s Darling Downs in a phased approach. Development activities are currently being carried out in the Dalby, Kogan, and Miles regions.
The SGP development portfolio will comprise around 2,500 gas wells and deliver up to 700 terajoules of gas per day once fully operational.
Gas produced by the SGP is supplied to customers under Arrow’s various contracts, including Braemar 2 power station near Dalby which contributes to the National Energy Market.
As we develop our project, we are committed to creating social value in areas where we work through job creation, spend with local businesses, road upgrades, and community investment partnerships.
Shaping our project together
We are dedicated to being good neighbours throughout the development of the Surat Gas Project.
Prior to commencing the SGP, we carried out extensive consultation with local communities and stakeholders, and undertook significant scientific studies, which informed our planning processes.
Now in the operational phase of the project, we remain committed to ongoing engagement with landholders, neighbours, and the broader community regarding our activities.
