The Great Sandy Desert mine is located in central northern Western Australia
They Mine Lots of Oil
Theia Energy, Perth-based company, was created in 2018 when Finder Exploration split into Finder Energy for its offshore projects and Theia Energy for its onshore Great Sandy Desert project.
Theia Energy owns the mine
The skeletal remains of animals and plants were covered by layers of sand, silt, and rock over millions of years. These layers' heat and pressure transformed the remaining materials into crude oil or petroleum.
Because crude oil and petroleum are mixtures of hydrocarbons that originated from the remains of extinct animals and plants that lived in a marine environment millions of years ago before dinosaurs existed, we refer to them as fossil fuels.
Petroleum-based products are used to generate electricity, heat houses, and power cars. Petroleum is used as a feedstock, or raw resource, by the petrochemical sector of the industrial sector to create plastics, polyurethane, solvents, and countless other intermediate and end-user products.
Involves leaving the ore where it is in the ground, and recovering the minerals from it by dissolving them and pumping the pregnant solution to the surface where the minerals can be recovered.

The mining can stir up the harmful fibers, and workers can inhale or ingest them when they are airborne.
No evidence.
Karajarri people are the first people that lived on the land.
They have lived there for almost 60, 000 years.
I think there was an agreement on when they could build it there but there wasn't enough info on it.
The Indigenous people with vote on if there should be any type of oil or gas mine in the area. "KTLA will put the negotiated Indigenous land use agreement to the Karajarri native title holders at an authorization meeting on August 28 in 2020," the statement said.
Oil spills, habitat destruction, and migration disruption are all consequences of oil and gas exploration and development, which can have catastrophic effects on the ecosystems' animal and human inhabitants.
Oil and gas production and processing use a lot of water, create effluent, and have the potential to unintentionally contaminate water sources. Natural resources, human health, and water supplies are all impacted by these effects.
Eco friendly mining equipment, this is how the oil company prepare to become more ecofriendly to the environment.
