Project Overview

The Reindeer gas field was discovered in 1997. Reindeer gas will be produced via an unmanned, minimum facility wellhead platform located in 65 metres of water. Gas and liquids will be exported from the platform to a new onshore gas processing plant via a single 105 kilometre pipeline.

The processing plant, to be located at Devil Creek, will have an unspared capacity of 215TJ/day (gross) and will deliver sales gas and stabilised condensate. Sales gas will be compressed and exported to the Western Australian domestic gas market via the Dampier - Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline.

Current Status

The Pluto project pipeline crossing pre-stabilisation works have been successfully installed, allowing the Reindeer to Devil Creek pipeline to be laid later this year.  Gas plant piperack and process equipment modules have all been delivered from Thailand and gas plant works are continuing. 

First Production

First oil remains on target for second half of 2011.
