bhp ponders canning shale gas push, page-3

For Gas it goes to James Price Point.

For crude you have other options

My view is no as the tidal range is too high and up a look mud creek in Derby.

Same problem plus more at Broome as it full of eco-terrorist so no gas or oil from there.

So the obvious choice is Port Hedland which is already a major port and has a 40km channel out to deep water.

Finally one other idea for crude oil is to have a submarine pipe line leaving the coast some where along Eighty Mile Beach which terminates at a crude oil loading buoy and FSO vessel attached which then offloads the oil onto shuttle tankers.

You would need at least 20,000 BBL per day to do this option.
