A wee small birdy told me that a company is planning to drill an offshore gas well off the coast of NSW. This will be the first time ever a rig has been parked off an Aussie coast where 6 or 7m people live.
Normally we get kicked out into the back blocks, either 300kms offshore way over the horizon off the coast of Broome or Derby….or maybe 200km west of Quilpie, where in-bred Qld’ers roam free and feral.
Not this time however. We are going smack bang in the face of everyone. All the Sydney suits, all the Nimbin hippies, all the Vaucluse toffs and all the Newcastle dockyard coal workers. Front and centre baby !!!
Can’t wait for all the greenies to start having a whinge – should be great.
Apparently there are 12 huge coal fired power stations along that region that account for 1/3rd of the nations total output of supposed bad stuff. The NSW Govt is longing for a white knight to come to it’s rescue and they have welcomed us with open arms about our proposal to have a scratch around.
If it comes off, probably two things will happen. Everyone involved will be rolling in it, and secondly it might threaten a few coal mining towns.
This is true wildcat oil-well territory. Nearest offset well is pretty dodgy and it’s onshore, drilled back in ’66. Nearest offshore well is about 1,000km away in the Bass Strait – so not much help there. Talk about going into the lion’s den with a blindfold on and two hand’s behind your back. Just my cup of tea.
Rig will be skull-dragged up the coast from the Bass Strait in a few months time, where it will belch and grind for a while. All normal people should give it a very wide berth.
I know this has nothing to do with property – but it may very well affect 6 or 7m Aussie people in a not insignificant way.
