Launched in October, the virtual field explorer is
proving popular with visitors to the Santos GLNG
Roma Shopfront. It is a state-of-the-art, mega
touch screen and interactive table that allows users
to explore and discover Santos GLNG’s gas fields
and infrastructure.
More than 200 landholders turned out across two
recent AgForce Projects CSG field days in Roma
and Miles to discuss all things water-related. Santos
GLNG water experts were pleased to present on
the day.
Students from St John’s School rolled up their
sleeves on a recent excursion with Santos GLNG
to undertake water monitoring.
