I work on an oil rig on the Gorgon project and have already completed a well for ExxonMobil which was a huge success. They could produce this well flat out for 35years and not have even 1 psi pressure drop its worth squillions.
They are drilling now before infrastructure is built on Barrow Island. Probably 2-3 years away.
Chevron and co have gone awful quiet on it all though - if they were confident of a positive FID you would think they would be talking about it a bit more like they used to... ? Don't here a peep from them these days - don't want to increase expectations?
Nice to have the approvals lined up
Regrow, were you running chrome completion strings whilst out there to counteract the contaminants, or were you drilling exploration wells ??
Small world, you probably know my mate then. He worked with Tidewater Port Jackson on Stena Clyde back in 98-99, only I think they were drilling in Malaysia.Hi regrow. I remember working for WAPET back in 98 and 99 - before Chevron bought them out, with great big posters plastered all over the walls screaming out "Gorgon development is coming - first production scheduled for late 2001". I recall a chap named Peter Garrett was still singing for Midnight Oil at the time.
I too was out there drilling Gorgon gas wells on the Stena Clyde. More gas than you can poke a stick at.
Peter Garrett has not approved it as yet.
Never met the lady but probably rode on the back of some of her radioactive turtles when I worked on the nearby Varanus Island back in the mid 80s.Having met the "turtle lady" a few years ago, she's the only one in the state with a PhD in Barrow Island turtles,
More like A class prohibited area. In the mid 50s before the Britz moved to Maralinga to blow up things they setup camp on Barrow Island to watch the mushroom clouds as they evaporated a few of the islands in the Montebello group. A class reserve indeed.that Harry Butler has been passionate about for the past 45 years since WAPET started exploring on the A Class reserve.
The partners are so far from producing the LNG it ain't funny.
Don't hold your breathe too long Ausprop, and never place too much emphasis on what the 20 year old journo's from the West write up.
