Sections 16 and 708

OFFSHORE PETROLEUM AND GREENHOUSE GAS STORAGE ACT 2006

GRANT OF PIPELINE LICENCE WA-28-PL AND DECLARATION OF TERMINAL STATION

 

I, TERRENCE JOHN MCKINLEY, Delegate of the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator, on behalf of the Commonwealth–Western Australia Offshore Petroleum Joint Authority, hereby give notice pursuant to section 708 of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 that Pipeline Licence WA-28-PL for petroleum, in relation to the Greater Enfield system of pipes, has been granted to Woodside Energy Ltd. (ABN 63 005 482 986) and Mitsui E&P Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 108 437 529), from and including 16 May 2017.

 

I further give notice that effective the date of this notice the high boost subsea multiphase pump (MPP) station located at the Laverda Canyon Field is declared as a terminal station pursuant to section 16 of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006, being a specified petroleum pumping station in an offshore area.

 

 

 

 

 

 


ROUTE OF THE PIPELINE

 

The route of the system of pipes is described in the table hereunder and displayed in the attached map (Attachment 1), commencing at the tie-in flange to the Laverda high boost multiphase pump (MPP) station and ending at the tie-in flange to the Remote Emergency Shutdown Valve (RESDV) at the Ngujima Yin FPSO. Coordinates are based on Geodetic Datum of Australia (GDA94).
