Project Profile
Location: 200 km off the Victorian coast
Area: 21,426 sq km
Reserves: 17.8 bcm of gas and 4.9 million barrels of condensate
Start-up Year: -
The field already lies near existing development infrastructure including the Casino development, Otway gas project, Minerva development and Iona gas plant. The block also contains a number of offset gas prospects and leads, including relatively low risk prospects present at Highlander and West La Bella which provide additional tie-back opportunities to a potential La Bella development.
The block also contains larger, higher risk, potential leads which could also offer significant resource potential. WHL believed the La Bella area could hold a potential unrisked mean prospective resource and best estimate contingent resource of 17.8 Bcm of gas and 4.9 million barrels of condensate.
