Is the Browse basin Woodside's real gas goal in WA?
The approval of the extension to the North West Shelf gas project off the Western Australian Coast is one of Australia's biggest fossil fuel developments.
But the licence extension also brings the owner of the project, Woodside, a step closer to tapping the 'Browse' Basin gas field a vast reserve that sits beneath the pristine Scott reef.
While gas companies have wanted to drill the Browse for decades, concerns about its economic viability and environmental impact abound.
So will the Browse project ever get off the ground and if it doesn't, what will it mean for WA's gas future?
