First steps
A pipe, 500 mm diameter, 75 km subsea pipeline and 15.5 km onshore pipeline is planned to move 200 million cubic feet daily to Ashburton North. It will connect the gas plant to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas project. This project would be sanctioned as early as May 2010
In the beginning
Macedon Gas Field is too small and remote to develop alternatives for the project for BHP and Apache Northwest. The Field has an estimated gas in place volume of approximately 800 billion cubic feet. BHP has discovered this amount of gas will be insufficient to support term contracts required for a standalone LNG project.
Current Status
A $A1.43 billion gas project with Technip has been awarded a contract in May for the engineering work and services related to procurement and construction management for the project’s onshore gas plant and pipeline works.BHP was also awarded a $A45million contract for pipeline construction work. It includes horizontal directional drilling, construction of an onshore wet gas pipeline, sales gas pipeline and umbilical installation.
