Name of the Project
Barossa project to backfill Darwin liquefied natural gas (DLNG) plant.

Location
About 300 km north of Darwin, within Santos’ Northern Australia portfolio, one of the company’s core long-life, natural gas assets.

The project area encompasses petroleum permit NT/RL5 over the Barossa field and petroleum permit NT/RL6 to the south, over the Caldita field, to be developed as a potential future phase of the project.

Project Owner/s
Oil and gas major Santos currently holds a 50% operating interest in the Barossa joint venture (JV) following the sale of a 12.5% interest in the Barossa project to JERA in April 2022, and the completion of all regulatory approvals. Cash proceeds to Santos at completion of the transaction were $327-million.

Santos struck a binding sales and purchase agreement with JERA in January, which is an existing partner at DLNG.

SK E&S holds a 37.5% share in the project. Santos is also a JV partner and operator in DLNG, with a 68.4% interest.

Project Description
The Barossa development comprises a floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO), with six subsea production wells to be drilled in the initial phase, and supporting in-field subsea infrastructure and a gas export pipeline tied into the existing pipeline between Bayu-Undan and Darwin.

Barossa’s development will extend the operating life of the DLNG plant by more than 20 years.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Capital Expenditure
$4.3-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
First production from Barossa is targeted for the first half of 2025.

Latest Developments
Construction is about 60% complete, including the Darwin pipeline duplication project.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
MODEC, and a consortium comprising TechnipFMC, Samsung Heavy Industries (FPSO) and INTECSEA (subsea infrastructure); Allseas Group (engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the gas export pipeline); and BW Offshore (construction, connection and operation contract for the FPSO).
