Exxon Expects Gas from Oz Bass Strait this Year
Esso Australia is close to completing its West Barracouta project, due to start pumping gas to the Australian domestic market this year, its parent company ExxonMobil Australia said on January 28. Esso is now ready to construct the project’s final subsea infrastructure.
The development, located in the VIC/L1 block offshore Victoria, will be tied back to the existing Barracouta infrastructure offshore in the Bass Strait, ExxonMobil said. “The arrival of the Subsea 7 Seven Eagle diving support vessel in Victoria this month means the company is on track to have West Barracouta gas flowing to the Australian domestic gas market this year,” it added.
Esso Australia operates the Gippsland Basin project through a 50-50 joint venture with BHP Billiton Petroleum.
