Woodside is a non-operating joint venture participant in the Bass Strait project, which has been involved in oil and gas exploration and production off Victoria’s Gippsland coast since 1964.
According to Woodside, gas production from Bass Strait currently supplies approximately 40% of Australian east coast domestic gas demand.
