Empire Oil & Gas Makes Progress on Red Gully Gas Plant

Empire Oil & Gas continues to make progress on its Red Gully Gas and Condensate Processing Facility in the Perth Basin and farm out negotiations for two onshore Carnarvon Basin permits.

Procactive Investors has reported that the company is currently waiting on final approval from the Western Australia Department of Mines and Petroleum of the Environmental Management Plan to start earthworks for the facility.

Empire has already secured access to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline, which the export pipeline from the Red Gully plant will connect to, and has received DMP approval for the facilities Construction Safety Case.

The Red Gully Gas and Condensate Processing Facility is capable of processing 10 million cubic feet of gas and associated condensate from the Red Gully-1 and Gingin West-1.

Gas produced will be sold to Alcoa under the existing gas sales agreement that was reached in October last year while condensate will be sold to the BP Refinery at Kwinana, Western Australia.

Gingin West-1 flowed 7.5 million cubic feet (MMcf) of gas and 375 barrels of condensate per day during testing while Red Gully-1 flowed 12MMcf of gas and 832 barrels of condensate.
