Australian diversified energy company Emperor Energy has signed an agreement with APA Group for pre-front end engineering design (Pre-FEED) of gas delivery pipelines and the processing plant for the Judith gas field.
The pre-FEED is for the provision of midstream infrastructure and services to gas, which will potentially be produced from the Judith gas field.
The study will include the pre-FEED design of a gas processing facility to operate adjacent to the existing APA’s Orbost gas processing facility.
It will also provide the concept design for a 40km subsea pipeline from the field to a shoreline crossing, and the pre-FEED design for an export pipeline to the Eastern gas pipeline which is located north of Orbost.
Judith gas field has a 2C contingent gas resource of 150 Bcf
Scheduled to commence in July, the pre-FEED study is expected to be completed in four months.
Located within the VIC/P47 Permit in the offshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria, the Judith gas field has a 2C contingent gas resource of 150 Bcf.
Emperor Energy said: “The design basis for the Pre-FEED is 80mmscf/d (90TJ/day) of sales gas across a 25-year project life with gas processing to meet the AS4564 gas sales specification.
“Emperor Energy and APA established a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) relating to the Judith Gas Project in October 2019. The Pre-FEED Agreement is the first Binding Agreement progressing from the MOU.”
