Environment Project Excellence Award Winners

We are pleased to announce that last night Santos GLNG, alongside ConocoPhillips Australia Pacific LNG, and Shell QGC won the Environment Project Excellence Award and the Chair’s Award at the 2025 Australian Energy Producers (AEP) Awards in Brisbane.

For nearly a decade, we have worked to safeguard marine turtles in Gladstone Harbour and set a new benchmark for industry-led environmental stewardship through the Long-Term Turtle Management Plan (LTTMP), with collaboration being at the heart of this initiative.

In conjunction with our Curtis Island neighbours and leading environmental consultancy Eco Logical Australia the LTTMP has delivered crucial insights into turtle populations, behaviour, and habitat use, providing a roadmap for future conservation efforts far beyond the three LNG operations.

By increasing knowledge, improving conservation methodologies, and setting a new standard for marine turtle protection, this collaboration has left an enduring legacy for both the environment and future generations, and we’re incredibly honoured to be recognised by AEP with these awards, especially the Chair’s Award, which recognises the most outstanding project across all the award categories.  Well done to everyone involved!

ConocoPhillips APLNG, Shell QGC, and Santos GLNG : Gladstone Long Term Turtle Management Plan Awarded for its ground-breaking, collaborative approach to environmental research that set a new industry standard and significantly enhanced understanding of marine turtle ecology.
