Community (continued)

MATERIAL ISSUES FACING OUR COMMUNITY

Through our community stakeholder engagement process the following issues have been identified as being material to the communities in which we operate:

  • Stability in funding for sponsorship arrangements
  • Consultation and communication
  • Transparency and disclosure
  • Community investment and sponsorship
  • Access to job opportunities for the local community
  • The potential for environmental impact in the event of loss of hydrocarbon containment
  • The perceived risk to groundwater quality as a result of hydraulic fracture stimulation activities
  • The concerns that some indigenous communities may have with regard to reduced access to culturally significant sites AWE has responded to these material concerns by tailoring our community investment programs and through community consultation.

OUR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

AWE recognises the importance of building stronger relationships with the communities in which we operate. We believe that regularly engaging with our stakeholders is critical to our long term success and we are committed to continuing to develop stakeholder engagement. The frequency and format of stakeholder engagement is designed to meet business and community needs, and what we learn from our local communities helps guide our business approach. Read more...

In May and June of 2012, AWE drilled the Atlas-1 exploration well in the offshore East Java Basin of Indonesia. The well-site was located approximately 100km from the North East coastline of the main Indonesian Island of Java.

To fully understand and address Community concerns AWE carried out a series of “socialisation” meetings with Indonesian regulators, local government groups and local fishing groups, whose waters would be potentially impacted during the month long drilling project.

Senior executives from the AWE Jakarta office met with representatives from the Bawean Island, Lamongan and Tuban fishing communities. The purpose of the meetings was to outline the details of the drilling campaign and the security and safety systems used by AWE to prevent any impact to the local marine environment. AWE also requested the support of these communities and engaged some of the local fishermen to monitor the area and ensure no other fishermen came to harm.
