The Scotia project is located in the Bowen Basin, onshore eastern Queensland, approximately 340 kilometres northwest of Brisbane and 145 kilometres northeast of Roma on the Burunga anticline within PL 176. The area of PL 176 is approximately 213 square kilometres. Santos is the operator with 100% interest. Scotia 3 was drilled in 1996 and was the first well drilled to test the late Permian coal seam gas play, while coal seam methane gas production commenced in 2002. The Scotia field facilities comprise 25 connected wells gathered into a central processing facility. The processing includes water separation, glycol dehydration and four-stage compression. Sales gas is transported via a 111 kilometre Scotia/Peat lateral pipeline to join the Roma-Brisbane Pipeline, about 116 kilometres east of Wallumbilla.
