Advent Energy Ltd - 2014/15 seismic survey - Offshore Sydney basin area

Advent Energy Ltd holds an exploration permit (PEP11) to undertake gas exploration activities off the coast between Sydney and Newcastle.  As part of these activities, a three-dimensional (3D) seismic survey has been proposed in the offshore Sydney Basin area over a 4–5 week period between November 2014 and April 2015.  Advent Energy has undertaken public consultation regarding the proposed survey.  The NSW Department of Primary Industries made a submission including an information paper for Advent Energy Ltd to consider in the development of the Environmental Plan and conduct of the survey.

Following initial consultation in 2014, Advent Energy has revised the planned survey and now proposes a two-dimensional (2D) survey of smaller area, duration, and intensity for the PEP11 area for 2017. The NSW Department of Primary Industries has prepared an updated submission including an information paper for Advent Energy Ltd for the 2017 proposal.
