The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) has approved Esso’s campaign to permanently plug and abandon the Seahorse and Tarwhine subsea wells in production licences VIC/L1 and VIC/L18 in the eastern Bass Strait.
The wells are located south of Lakes Entrance off the Gippsland coastline in a water depth of approximately 43 m.
Esso will use the Noble Tom Prosser jack up rig for the activity, which will commence this month and be completed before September 2021.
