Thursday 25 October 2018
Woodside, as Operator of the North West Shelf (NWS) Project, advised that the Greater Western Flank Phase 2 (GWF-2) Project off the north-west coast of Australia has commenced gas production.
Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said the project has been delivered $630 million below the expected cost of approximately $2.0 billion (100% basis) and six months ahead of schedule.
The GWF-2 Project is located in Commonwealth waters approximately 135 km north-west of Dampier and includes eight subsea wells from six offshore fields (Keast, Dockrell, Sculptor, Rankin, Lady Nora and Pemberton), tied back to the existing Goodwyn A platform by a 35 km corrosion resistant subsea pipeline. The final investment decision on the project was taken in December 2015.
The NWS Project participants are: Woodside Energy Ltd (Operator, 16.67%); BHP Billiton Petroleum (North West Shelf) Pty Ltd (16.67%); BP Developments Australia Pty Ltd (16.67%); Chevron Australia Pty Ltd (16.67%); Japan Australia LNG (MIMI) Pty Ltd (16.67%); and Shell Australia Pty Ltd (16.67%).
