We take pride in the delivery of onshore and offshore marine monitoring programs, developing innovative research partnerships and robust management plans to reduce our environmental footprint.
Working alongside reputable research scientists, we invest in programs to build a wealth of data, which supports better understanding and protection of the environments where we operate.
Our programs are focused on developing responsible management approaches to protect the environment, while supporting development and meeting the expectations of the communities where work and of which we are proud to be a part.
We are committed to:
- ensuring our people are competent with the appropriate training, environmental knowledge and adequate resources to support sound environmental management
- empowering our people to identify risks and intervene to prevent environmental harm
- investing in development and implementation of onshore and offshore marine monitoring programs
- compliance with environmental obligations and commitments through risk reduction and implementation of effective control measures
- driving ongoing improvements in environmental performance through monitoring, auditing and reviews.
- building greater knowledge and skills to support protection of the environment.
Environment Plans
Currently open for consultation:
Ichthys Umbilicals Risers Flowlines and Subsea Production System Installation (revision) Environment Plan
Between 2020-2024 INPEX has continued to develop the Ichthys Field, including undertaking URF and SPS installation activities under the Ichthys URF and SPS installation environment plan (EP) accepted by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) and valid until April 2025. INPEX is now preparing an EP revision to complete outstanding activities not yet completed and undertake pre-engineering survey activities for future planned activities in WA-50-L.
We wish to hear from relevant persons whose functions, interests and activities may be affected by the work that we are doing.

Ichthys Development Drilling WA-50-L (five year revision) Environment Plan
INPEX Australia has worked sustainably and responsibly under an approved Ichthys development drilling environment plan for more than a decade in the Browse Basin, around 230 kilometres offshore from Western Australia. This environment plan is undergoing a routine five-year revision.
We wish to hear from relevant persons whose functions, interests and activities may be affected by the work that we are doing.

Proposed G-7-AP vessel-based geophysical and geotechnical survey Environment Plan
In December 2021, the Australian Government released five greenhouse gas (GHG) storage acreage areas offshore Western Australia and the Northern Territory, for the purpose of GHG storage exploration and assessment.
INPEX Browse E&P Pty Ltd (INPEX) on behalf of the Bonaparte Carbon Capture and Storage Assessment Joint Operating Agreement participants was successfully awarded a GHG assessment permit over one of these areas, G-7-AP located offshore in the Bonaparte Basin off northern Australia.
INPEX is conducting preliminary assessment and selection of a suitable development concept including preliminary facility designs for the transport and sequestration of carbon dioxide. To inform the design and location of the potential future development, INPEX is proposing to undertake a range of (vessel based) geophysical and geotechnical surveys. The survey data obtained will be used to inform the design and location of potential infrastructure within G-7-AP and a pipeline corridor.
We wish to hear from relevant persons whose functions, interests and activities may be affected by the work that we are doing.
