Pyrenees Oil Field

Summary Information

+++ Description

The Pyrenees field is located in Permit WA-12-R, in the Exmouth Sub-basin portion of the Carnarvon Basin approximately 45 kilometers northwest of Exmouth, Western Australia.
The Pyrenees project consists of the development of the Crosby, Ravensworth and Stickle oil fields which were discovered in 2003 at water depths ranging from 169 metres (555 feet) to 250 metres (820 feet.)
The fields are developed with very long horizontal wells drilled from the sea floor and then tied back to the Pyrenees FPSO via an extensive gathering system. Water injection is incorporated to enhance oil recovery.
The full project involves 13 subsea wells, an extensive subsea gathering system connected to an FPSO
The Pyrenees Venture FPSO is capable of processing 96,000 barrels of oil per day, combined gas lift/re-injection capacity of 60 million cubic feet per day and having an oil storage capacity of approximately 850,000 barrels. The FPSO is planned to be installed in 200 meters water depth.
Surplus gas to fuel and lift gas requirements is reinjected into the Macedon Reservoir via a bi-directional well
