Cape Energy (Victoria) Pty Ltd, are proposing to develop the Golden Beach (GB) gas field which is located in the Gippsland Basin approximately 4km offshore from the Ninety Mile Beach coastline and close to the Golden Beach township.
Concept selection work adopted a drilling approach of using an Extended Reach Drill (ERD) from an onshore location near the beach. A two well development is currently envisaged which will require two onshore wellheads from which a flow line to a small gas plant, with nominal design throughput of 40 mmscfd, will be required.
As the gas is approximately 97% wet methane with no contaminants anticipated, it is envisaged that the gas plant will essentially comprise two-phase separation, gas compression and dehydration to sales gas specification with custody transfer and tie-in to the Alinta Infrastructure Holdings (AIH) Longford Compressor Station.
Shedden Uhde was awarded a package of work for the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) of the GB onshore facilities with the aim of further defining the design and cost of the required facilities including a pipeline from the wellhead compound, across Lake Reeve into the gas plant and a sales gas pipeline from the gas plant to the AIH Longford Compressor Station.
