Planned

The Australian government approved an extended license for the North West Shelf gas processing plant at Karratha, allowing it to operate until 2070 instead of closing in 2030. The plant's long-term future depends on the development of the Browse gasfields, which have faced multiple challenges and delays due to high costs and difficult extraction conditions.
