Santos (ASX:STO) is currently embroiled in a legal tussle as the Federal Court has permitted an appeal against a Native Title ‘Future Act’ decision pertaining to the Narrabri Gas project, according to an announcement by the company.

The court, however, has abstained from making any judgments in relation to Santos’s conduct.

The company has pledged its commitment to remain constructive in its engagement with the Gomeroi people.

There are no official directives from the federal court regarding the following steps as of now.

In line with this, Santos will continue its work on land access, native title for environmental approvals processes, to push forward with Narrabri and the Hunter Gas Pipeline.

Santos is an Australian energy pioneer that delivers the economic and environmental benefits of natural gas to homes and businesses.
