Description
- Otway Gas Project consists of two offshore gas fields, Geographe and Thylacine, and an onshore gas processing facility, Otway Gas Processing Plant, near Port Campbell in south-west Victoria.
 - There is a wellhead platform on the Thylacine reservoir, Thylacine-A with four production wells.
 - Three subsea Geographe production wells (Geographe 2, Geographe 4, Geographe 5) and associated subsea infrastructure.
 - The Otway Pipeline System consists of two subsea pipelines – the Otway Gas Pipeline and the piggybacked MEG pipeline.
 - The Thylacine field was developed in the first phase and Geographe in the second
 - There are Four subsea suspended wells (Artisan1, Geographe 1, Geographe 3, Thylacine1).
 
Contractors
