ConocoPhillips Australia has awarded a major pipeline contract to Allseas. The contract includes engineering, procurement, transport and installation of the 260-kilometre Barossa Gas Export Pipeline, offshore Darwin.
The Barossa offshore gas and light condensate project is currently in the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase. It is to provide a new source of gas to the existing Darwin LNG facility when the current offshore gas supply from Bayu-Undan is exhausted.
The offshore development concept includes a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, subsea production system and gas export pipeline, all located in Commonwealth waters north of Darwin. The gas export pipeline will transport natural gas from the development area 300 kilometres north of Darwin to a tie-in location on the existing Bayu-Darwin Pipeline 100 kilometres north-west of Darwin.
