Central Petroleum Ltd., Brisbane, has completed commissioning of Dingo natural gas field in Northern Territory’s southern Amadeus basin.
Central fast-tracked the pipeline and plant work, which was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. The company bought the undeveloped field from Magellan Petroleum Australia in early 2014 (OGJ Online, Feb. 19, 2014). All necessary approvals also have been secured.
Central says that the flow of sales gas from the field will begin as soon as customer NT Power & Water Corp. completes its engineering and tie-in work to the delivery point at Owen Springs power station near Alice Springs.
The field will produce gas from the Dingo-2 and Dingo-3 wells on production licence PL7. These are connected by a 43-km, 100-mm pipeline north to the Brewer industrial estate in Alice Springs.
The pipeline and processing plant capacity is as much as 2.4 petajoules/year.
