statement is required.The proposed Browse carbon capture and storage (CCS) project would capture a compressed CO2 stream from onboard the two FPSOs proposed as part of the Browse to NWS Project. Woodside, as operator, is proposing to develop the Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa conventional natural gas fields located in the offshore Browse Basin, approximately 425km north of Broome.The proposal calls for infrastructure to transport, inject and permanently sequester up to 270 mmscfd (~14,200 tonnes of CO2 per day) into the Calliance Storage Formation (near Scott Reef) at an expected annual average injection
