Australian regulator NOPSEMA has begun evaluation of Woodside Energy’s surroundings plans for Julimar Development Phase 3 Drilling and Subsea Installation.
The Julimar subject is situated in Western Australian waters about 170km north-west of Dampier.
Woodside’s Phase 3 improvement will contain drilling as much as 4 wells within the Julimar subject and one effectively within the Penfolds prospect, together with the related subsea set up. The manufacturing system may have a design lifetime of 25 years and can produce hydrocarbons from the Julimar and Penfolds reservoirs by way of the prevailing Phase 1 and a couple of infrastructure and the third-party operated Wheatstone Platform and onshore LNG plant.
Wells will probably be drilled by both a moored semi-submersible MODU or a hybrid MODU with each moorings and dynamically positioned techniques. Drilling is anticipated to take 60 days per effectively.
In 2021, as a part of the Phase 2 improvement, Woodside and Subsea 7 delivered what was believed to be the largest diameter corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) pipeline ever “spooled” round a reel. The challenge concerned laying of 22km of 18-inch CRA-clad gasoline transmission flowline.
For Phase 3, two wells are proposed to hook up with a brand new two slot manufacturing manifold which can tie into the prevailing in-line tee meeting inside the 18-inch flowline by way of roughly 2.5km of versatile flowline.
