Beach achieves first gas from Geographe wells
Beach Energy has recently revealed they have connected the first wells of its offshore Otway Basin campaign and are now operational to develop gas into the east coast market.
The company has claimed the wells can effectively double the Otway Gas Pant production capacity, as they have the capability of delivering around 180 terajoules of gas per day (TJ/d).
In order to connect the remaining wells from the campaign the company will be required to demonstrate nameplate production capacity of 205 TJ/d.
“Achieving first gas from these Geographe wells is an important milestone for Beach as it represents the first gas from our first ever offshore drilling campaign,” said Morne Engelbrecht, Beach Energy’s acting chief executive. He went on to say that the remaining well connection is important in moving forwards to delivering the company’s growth targets.
“This represents one of the first key building blocks towards our first production growth target of 28 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) in FY24,” Engelbrecht said.
