About Arrow
We deliver natural gas and electricity to help power Queensland and beyond.
Arrow Energy is a Queensland-based producer of natural gas and electricity to power homes, businesses, and industries. We have a more than 20-year track record of operating responsibly in the Surat, with our first well drilled in 2001.
Today, we work on some of Australia’s most prosperous agricultural land, and consider it a privilege to do so. Through our partnerships with farming families, the agricultural and gas industries are operating productively side-by-side.
Arrow Energy is a joint venture of two of the world’s largest oil and gas companies – Shell and PetroChina.
Our purpose
Natural gas is essential for today’s world and into the future as the move to cleaner energy progresses.
Our vision is to be the most competitive and respected developer of unconventional gas value chains in Australia. That means we bring expertise and care to everything we do.
It is our mission to deliver more gas to create shared value and to power the energy transition. By sharing that value with our communities, we are proudly contributing to energy security, economic growth, jobs, and improved social outcomes.
Our values
The land on which we operate is unique, and requires a bespoke approach.
In everything we do, we live the Arrow values. It starts with the respect we show for intensively farmed land, our landholders, the broader community, and our colleagues. Our team is determined to continually create better ways to work, and better outcomes for society.
These values are reflected in our policies including the Arrow Energy Code of Conduct which sets out the standards expected of everyone representing Arrow when conducting our activities.
Respect
We treat all people, inside and outside Arrow, with dignity and respect.
Lead
We lead by continually seeking ways to improve safety, delivery, cost, quality, and teamwork
Integrate
We are seamless in our coordination between departments, groups and systems to drive continuous improvement.
Solve
We view challenges not as barriers but as opportunities to improve through innovation and change.
