A group led by Cyclone Energy Pty. Ltd., Perth, has restarted oil production from Jingemia field in Western Australia’s onshore north Perth basin.

The field, in production license L14 about 360 km north of Perth and 20 km southeast of Dongara, has been on care and maintenance status since December 2012.

Jingemia first came on stream in late 2003 and has produced 4.4 million bbl of light oil from the estimated 12 million bbl in place.

Cyclone says the field production facilities are in excellent operational condition and all production wells have been successfully brought back online.

A sales contract has been signed with BP PLC’s Kwinana refinery south of Perth and a trucking contract is in place to transport the crude to the facility.

The joint venture says PL L14 also has good exploration prospectivity within the permit boundaries as well as within the Jingemia field itself, particularly in deeper reservoirs not tested at the field location.

Cyclone Energy has 33.722% interest. Singapore’s RCMA Group holds 60% and Perth-based Norwest Energy Ltd. holds 6.278%.
