Background
A final investment decision was expected to be made in 2020[1], but Shell delayed this in April 2020[3] due to weaker global LNG demand and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shell took final investment decision (FID) on the Crux project in May 2022.[2][6] The project is expected to begin commercial production in 2027.[2] The Crux project is the primary source of backfill gas for the Prelude FLNG Terminal.[4]
As of July 2023, Shell has submitted an environmental plan to Australia's offshore energy regulator, NOPSEMA, and is awaiting approval to begin the installation of the drilling template on the Crux gas field.[7]
