Crux project, Australia
Name of the Project
Crux project.
Location
The Crux field is located in Commonwealth marine waters in the northern Browse basin, 160 km off the shore of north-west Australia.
Client
The project is a joint venture between Shell Australia (operator), SGH Energy and Osaka Gas.
Project Description
The Crux project is being developed to supply backfill gas (liquified natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and condensate) to the Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility.
The project comprises a not normally manned platform with five production wells, in ocean waters about 165 m deep.
The facility will be connected to Prelude by a 165 km export pipeline.
The Crux platform will be operated remotely from the Prelude FLNG facility and will require only periodic maintenance visits, significantly reducing the operational safety exposure to staff.
Crux is expected to have at least a 20-year life span, with the possibility of extending the life of the project in future.
