The gas will be supplied from the offshore John Brookes gas field, processed at the East Spar gas processing facilities on Varanus Island, and transported through the Goldfields gas transmission pipeline.
“Santos is pleased to build on its strong relationship with Newmont who are a valued customer”, said John Anderson, Santos vice president Western Australia & Northern Territory.
“This agreement demonstrates there is strong demand for natural gas in Western Australia and reflects Santos’ desire to continue to grow its position as a domestic gas supplier in WA”, Anderson said.
Santos owns 45% of John Brookes with gas marketed separately by the partners. The Newmont contract is fully supplied from Santos’ share of production.
