Description

  • Otway Gas Project consists of two offshore gas fields, Geographe and Thylacine, and an onshore gas processing facility, Otway Gas Processing Plant, near Port Campbell in south-west Victoria.
  • There is a wellhead platform on the Thylacine reservoir, Thylacine-A with four production wells.
  • Three subsea Geographe production wells (Geographe 2, Geographe 4, Geographe 5) and associated subsea infrastructure.
  • The Otway Pipeline System consists of two subsea pipelines – the Otway Gas Pipeline and the piggybacked MEG pipeline.
  • The Thylacine field was developed in the first phase and Geographe in the second
  • There are Four subsea suspended wells (Artisan1, Geographe 1, Geographe 3, Thylacine1).

Contractors

  • **Technip:** Project management, detailed engineering, procurement of equipment and material, construction and pre-commissioning of the wellhead platform, the onshore gas plant and onshore pipeline.
