Origin submits new Vic pipeline licence application

The steel DN 200 mm pipeline will be used to convey gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons from the Halladale, Black Watch and Speculant (HBWS) well site in Nirrranda South to the Otway Gas Plant.

The same trench will include a steel DN 50 mm pipeline which will convey mono-ethylene from the plant to a connection point at the well site.

Construction on the pipeline is anticipated to commence in October 2015, with a planned completion date of May 2016.

A copy of the licence application and its accompanying information can be located at Level 16, 321 Exhibition St, Melbourne.

Origin Energy’s Otway Gas Project consists of offshore gas fields, Thylacine in Tasmania and Geographe in Victoria, with gas and liquids extracted using an offshore platform and transported via pipelines to an onshore gas processing plant in Port Campbell, Victoria.

The plant produces an average 60 PJ of natural gas per annum, together with approximately 100,000 t of LPG and approximately 800,000 bbl of condensate or light oil.

Origin is developing the Halladale field for production in the Otway Basin, outside the Otway joint venture.
