About Us

Arrow Energy (“Arrow”) is an integrated coal seam gas (CSG) company, which develops gas fields, produces and sells CSG, and generates electricity.

Our vision is to be the most competitive and respected developer of unconventional gas value chains in Australia. 

Today, Arrow owns and operates Braemar 2, a 450-megawatt gas-fired power station south-west of Dalby and is developing the Surat Gas Project in western Queensland. Sanctioned in 2020, the Surat Gas Project’s first phase comprises more than 600 coal seam gas wells and will bring 5 trillion cubic feet of gas to market over 27 years.

Arrow is an incorporated joint venture owned by two of the world’s largest energy companies, Shell and PetroChina.
