Senex completes Surat gas development project

Senex Energy Ltd, Brisbane, has completed its 100%-owned Surat basin natural gas development.

The onshore southeast Queensland project comprises 80 gas wells which is less than the 110 wells originally envisaged because of continuing outperformance.

In conjunction with infrastructure partner Jemena, the group also has built and commissioned natural gas processing facilities at Roma North and Atlas capable of handling more than 20 petajoules/year of gas.

Final Investment decision for the A$400 million project was reached in October 2018 and drilling and construction completed in less than two years.

Roma North has been consistently producing above nameplate capacity at around 18 terajoules/day while the Atlas coal seam gas production has exceeded 15 terajoules/day and continues to increase towards its nameplate capacity of 32 terajoules/day.

Atlas also has an additional eight terajoules/day of installed capacity available.

The initial water treatment facilities at Atlas have been commissioned and final construction completion is expected in the second half of this year.

The company has proved and probable (2P) gas reserves in excess of 600 petajoules in its Surat basin permits and expects to supply the domestic market in Eastern Australia for decades to come.
