Empire Oil & Gas Progressing With Red Gully Gas Plant

Empire Oil & Gas is making progress on construction of the Red Gully Gas and Condensate Facility in the Perth Basin.

Civil works for the project is ongoing with the Export Compressor concrete foundation poured and installation of the compressor to compress produced gas to meet the Dampier to Bunbury Pipeline specifications to follow, Proactive Investors reported citing a company statement.

Work on the 3 kilometre pipeline to the Dampier to Bunbury Pipeline inlet is also progressing with sections of the export pipeline welded in sections. Trenching of the 3 kilometre route and burying and laying of the pipeline will start next week 19 and 20 November.

Gas produced at the Red Gully facility, which will process flows from the Gingin West-1 and Red Gully-1 wells, will be sold to Alcoa under the existing gas sales agreement for 15,000 terajoules of gas that was reached in October last year.

Condensate will be sold to the BP Refinery at Kwinana, Western Australia, under contracts that are pending finalisation.

Gingin West-1 flowed 7.5 million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas and 375 barrels of condensate per day during testing while Red Gully-1 flowed 12MMcf of gas and 832 barrels of condensate.
