Key Points: 
  • 26 March 2024 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that the Shenandoah South 1H (SS-1H) well in EP117 achieved above commercial IP60 flow rate of 3.0 MMcf/d (normalised to 6.0 MMcf/d over 1,000 metres).
  • Flow testing of the SS-1H well will continue for the next 30 days to achieve average IP90 flow rates to better determine the well’s estimated ultimate recovery per well (EUR).
  • The project is expected to require six 10,000-foot development wells initially to achieve plateau production of 40 MMcf/d.
  • This augurs well for the initial development in the Shenandoah South area as these rates continue to track average flow rates seen in the Marcellus Shale basin in the US.”

Health evidence against gas and oil is piling up, as governments turn a blind eye

It’s incomprehensible, then, that many of our politicians support “unlocking the Beetaloo Basin” in the Northern Territory and developing another 48 oil and gas projects across Australia.

Key Points: 
  • It’s incomprehensible, then, that many of our politicians support “unlocking the Beetaloo Basin” in the Northern Territory and developing another 48 oil and gas projects across Australia.
  • Today we have launched a report that demonstrates the many risks of oil and gas development for human health and wellbeing in Australia.

    Australia's 116 new coal, oil and gas projects equate to 215 new coal power stations

What is the evidence against oil and gas?

    • There is a need to combat widely held misconceptions and repeated misinformation about the safety of the oil and gas industry.
    • New research clearly shows that “unlocking gas” is at least as harmful to the climate as mining and burning coal.
    • Our report synthesises recent scientific and public health research on five areas of concern about oil and gas operations:
    • Fracking is often applied many times to each of hundreds to thousands of wells in a region.
    • Air becomes contaminated with volatile organic compounds, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, radioactive materials, diesel fumes, hydrogen sulfide, acrolein and heavy metals.

      Companies that frack for oil and gas can keep a lot of information secret – but what they disclose shows widespread use of hazardous chemicals

What are the health impacts?


    People exposed to oil and gas operations experience a long list of harms. These include:
