Santos has quietly been granted federal environmental approval to drill 116 new coal seam gas wells in Queensland.

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek's department on Friday gave the green light for fossil fuel producer Towrie's project in the Arcadia Valley, about 500 kilometres northwest of Brisbane.

The approval of 116 new wells, which will produce coal seam gas from the Surat Basin for 30 years and be linked to the Santos-owned GLNG gas export project in central Queensland, wasn't widely publicised.

Deputy Greens leader Mehreen Faruqi slammed the approval, saying Labor's climate change credibility was in tatters and talks on an emissions safeguard mechanism were in question.

Environmental group Lock the Gate Alliance said the Santos project was at odds with international efforts to halt fossil fuel expansion, to keep global temperature rises within 2C of pre-industrial levels.
