Ok thats just for starters Satu Suro 04:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't think all of those'd be encyclopaedic enough to warrant separate articles—possibly better as sections within. To clarify, this article is more about the geographical region - yes? I was intending to do a North West Shelf Venture article later, specifically abt the Rankin/Goodwin/Cossack assets and project. Or should that be part of this?

Initially this is an overview regional article once it moves beyond stub and a lot depends on the time put in and the sources available however against the above - 1,2,3,5,7, 11-14, are the main art -

where i think 4,6, and 9 need separate articles imho

The Gas venture could be easily a separate article - just check henrietta alone on that one Satu Suro 08:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and a classic ref:- Twenty years of endeavour : the North West Shelf Project / [Woodside Petroleum Ltd. ... et al.].[Australia : s.n, 1984?] North West Shelf Natural Gas Development Project. Natural gas in submerged lands -- Western Australia -- North West Shelf.

so it really could sail by itself Satu Suro 09:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

North west shelf venture is not the title to use - maybe a redirect - see the section re gas now in article - it could easily lead to a main article Satu Suro 15:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it depends what we're talking about. I was referring specifically to the Woodside operated project, and not the Gorgon gas project (for example, and which is a vitally needed separate article again). Your title would imply both (or all projects in the area). Also, if this article is more about the geophysical region, I think it may be better moved to Carnarvon Basin which is a more well-defined area [1][2]. That redlink also has some inbound links.

Nah It would be good if possible to keep this art as a central first stop for the very general term for the region to have sections that could lead out to the major issues that emanate from the area - what do you think about tha? - Satu Suro 06:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
