ON BEHALF OF THE COMMONWEALTH–NORTHERN TERRITORY
OFFSHORE PETROLEUM JOINT AUTHORITY
APPLICATION FOR VARIATION OF
PIPELINE LICENCE NT/PL1
The variation application seeks to give effect to the following amendments to the licence relating to the proposed future use of Pipeline Licence NT/PL1 (NT/PL1) associated with the tie-in of Pipeline Licence NT/PL5 (Barossa Gas Export Pipeline). The proposed Barossa tie-in would involve removal of an approximately 100 metres section of the Bayu Undan pipeline and the installation of additional infrastructure as referenced below. These activities would occur after current petroleum conveyance operations from the Bayu-Undan Field have ceased.
The variation also provides basis of design details relevant to the current pipeline proposed to be included in ‘Specifications’ as outlined below.
ROUTE OF PIPELINE
“The route of the pipeline while still in use for conveyance of petroleum from the Bayu-Undan Field, commences from the boundary of the offshore areas of Western Australia and Northern Territory (being a point at about 266 404mE, 875 4578mN) and ending at the boundary of the offshore area of the Northern Territory with Northern Territory Coastal Waters (being a point at about 619 280mE, 8 659 685mN).
Following cessation of conveyance of petroleum from the Bayu-Undan Field, the portion of NT/PL1 proposed to be initially isolated and flooded shall be that section of pipeline which starts from a point at about 266 404mE, 8 754 578mN to a point at or about 598 711mE, 8 670 621mN.
The portion of NT/PL1 proposed to be reused for Barossa Tie-in shall be that section of pipeline which starts from a point at about 598 745mE, 8 670 574mN to a point at or about 619 280mE, 8 659 685mN.”
The route is further described in the tables of coordinates below and the map at Attachment A.”
