ExxonMobil subsidiary Esso Australia has commenced gas production from West Barracouta project in the Bass Strait offshore Victoria.
The project has been developed by the Gippsland Basin joint venture (JV), which is equally owned by Esso Australia and BHP Billiton Petroleum. It entailed an investment of A$400m ($309m).
Located in the VIC/L1 block in the Bass Strait, the West Barracouta gas field development involved drilling two gas production wells and construction of associated subsea gas production facilities to access gas in the existing Barracouta field.
