The company is now progressing the remaining regulatory approvals required by the Queensland government for Project Atlas, with all environmental authority applications now submitted to the state, it said.
The final investment decision regarding Project Atlas was taken last October. The primary objective of the Project Atlas natural gas development programme is to reach plateau production of 32 terajoules/d (0.85mn m3/d), with an additional 8 terajoules/d (0.21mn m3/d) of installed redundant capacity. Atlas will include around 60 development wells being drilled in its initial campaigns starting late 3Q 2019, according to Senex.
On behalf of Senex, energy infrastructure company Jemena will build, own and operate the Atlas processing plant, plus the 60km pipeline that will transport natural gas to Wallumbilla, a major domestic supply hub.
