Santos Delivers First Gas From Reindeer Field

Santos’ offshore Reindeer field off the northwestern coast of Australia has delivered natural gas to the shore for the first time, the company said Tuesday.

The delivery of the gas, processed at the new onshore Devil Creek plant near Karratha, marks a major milestone in the Reindeer/Devil Creek development project.

A joint venture between Santos and Apache Energy, the Reindeer/Devil Creek development project includes the installation of an offshore unmanned minimum facility wellhead platform in the Reindeer field, a 105-km pipeline to shore and the development of the gas plant.

The Devil Creek gas plant has a gross production capacity of 215 TJ/day and is initially planned to ramp up to sales of 120 TJ/day.

Santos has already entered a number of contracts for the supply of gas from Reindeer/Devil Creek to major local companies in the mining industry.
