Over the past 25 years two Australian companies, Southern Pacific Petroleum N.L. and Central Pacific Minerals N.L. (SPP/CPM), and their co-venturers have invested A$400 million in a bid to create a modern shale oil industry in Australia. An important milestone was reached in 1999 with construction of the A$250 million Stuart Stage 1 demonstration plant in Queensland, Australia in a joint venture with Canada’s Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor). The 4,500 b/d (715 m3/d) plant is currently being commissioned by Suncor, the project operator. Stuart is one of 10 high quality, silica based oil shale deposits held by SPP/CPM and its co-venturers along the Queensland coast which contain an estimated 29 billion barrels (4.59 Gm3) of in-situ resource. The Stuart project incorporates the Alberta-Taciuk Processor (ATP) retort technology which was chosen following a A$150 million R&D program in the 1980s. With technical and operational success in Stage 1, the Stuart Joint Venture expects to scale up the ATP in Stage 2 to a commercial sized module producing 15,000 b/d (2,350 m3/d). This could lead to a commercial scale operation of at least 85,000 b/d (13,500 m3/d) by 2007. Success at Stuart creates a new development paradigm for oil shale with important implications for world oil supply. v. 2, p. 232 CONGTP McFarland, James D. 9595 Southern Pacific Petroleum 9596 Central Pacific Minerals 9597 World Petroleum Congress (16th. : 2000 jun. 11-15 : Calgary, Alberta, Canada) 34 Southern Pacific Petroleum 9596 Central Pacific Minerals 9597 McFarland, James D. 9595 133457 133457 0 0 0 0 204376 BAAB BAAB CD W938 1 0013960 2026-03-04 200005920 0 CD W938 1 0013960 200005920 2026-03-04 14:03:16 2026-03-04 ARCHIVO
