Bonaparte Basin

The Bonaparte Basin is located in coastal waters off the north coast of Australia.

Santos has operated interests in three retention licences and one exploration permit in the southern Bonaparte, which contains the Petrel-Tern-Frigate gas fields under evaluation for development in a joint venture with GDF SUEZ (Bonaparte LNG). 

Santos also has an operated interest in one exploration permit in the north Bonaparte, which contains the undeveloped Evans gas resource, and non-operated interests in two exploration permits containing the undeveloped Barossa and Caldita gas resources.
