PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The $400-million West Barracouta gas project has started delivering gas into eastern Australia, Esso Australia reported this week.

The project, which is owned by the Gippsland Basin joint venture between BHP and Esso Australia, which is a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, was one of the largest proven undeveloped gasfields off the south-eastern Australian coast.

"West Barracouta will likely be the largest domestic gas project for eastern Australia that comes along this decade, building on our long and proud history of reliably supplying gas used in Australian homes and businesses for more than 50 years," said ExxonMobil Australia chairperson Nathan Fay.

“The Gippsland basin remains today the largest single source of gas supply to the east coast domestic market. And West Barracouta demonstrates it still has the capacity to bring material new gas supply to the market - there is still plenty of potential left in the Bass Strait.”

By the end of this decade the Gippsland basin will continue to have the potential to supply one-third of south-east Australia’s domestic gas demand.

“We have a long history of supplying reliable and affordable energy to Australia and have invested significantly in maintaining this supply of energy that our customers, from heavy industries to families heating up their homes in winter, rely on,” said Fay.
