About Offshore Western Australia: Offshore Western Australia is well established nationally and internationally as a significant hydrocarbon-bearing area. Offshore Western Australia has risen to prominence as Australia's leading oil producing State, with the State's daily oil and condensate production having surpassed that of Victoria's Gippsland Basin. Offshore Western Australia also leads the nation in gas and LNG LNG (liquefied natural gas): see under natural gas. production. Petroleum (crude oil, condensate and natural gas) has become a leading contributor to the State's resources sector. Petroleum production accounts for more than one third of the value of Western Australia's mineral and energy production. Offshore Western Australia was home to 67 producing oil and gas fields in 2005. Collectively, they produce in excess of A$14 billion worth of oil, gas, condensate, LNG and other products per year. Additional Northwest Shelf (Carnarvon Basin) Fields The Carnarvon basin in the Northwest Shelf contains a number of giant gas and gas-condensate fields. The Greater Gorgon area, which includes other nearby gas fields, is 130 km off the northwest coast of Western Australia in the Carnarvon basin. The fields in that area contain in excess of 40 Trillion Cubic Feet of gas. The Gorgon field development plan is well advanced. It involves the installation of a subsea Subsea is a general term frequently used to refer to equipment, technology, and methods employed to explore, drill, and develop oil and gas fields that exist below the ocean floors. This may be in "shallow" or "deepwater". gathering system and a 70 km subsea pipeline to Barrow Island. A gas processing facility located on the Barrow Island would process the gas. Carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. would be removed and reinjected into deep saline reservoirs below the island, and the liquid hydrocarbon product would be transported by ship to international markets. Natural gas would be delivered via a subsea pipeline to the Western Australian mainland for use in industrial and domestic gas markets. The initial development is a two-train LNG processing facility on Barrow Island, producing 10 million tonnes/year of LNG and delivering 280 MMcfd of gas to existing mainland domestic gas infrastructure. This development is also planned to include the Io/Jansz giant gas field. The construction would be phased over 3-15 years. The Io/Jansz was discovered in the Carnarvon basin in 2000 and has an in place gas resource estimated at 20 Trillion Cubic Feet of gas. Other nearby gas discoveries in the Carnarvon Basin includes Geryon, Orthrus, Maenad mae·nad n. 1. Greek Mythology A woman member of the orgiastic cult of Dionysus. 2. A frenzied woman.
