Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Cooper/Eromanga Basins, south-west Queensland, approximately 1,050 kilometres west of Brisbane, Australia
Storage capacity: 63,000 barrels
Pipeline length: 797 kilometres
The Jackson facility is located in Cooper/Eromanga Basins, onshore central Australia in south-west Queensland, approximately 1,050 kilometres west of Brisbane. The storage and processing accepts production from approximately 40 oil fields containing about 182 oil wells through approximately 250 kilometres of pipelines and flowlines. Produced oil is dewatered and sent via the 797 kilometre 12 inch Jackson-Moonie pipeline and on to the Lytton oil refinery in Brisbane. Jackson acts as the central collection and storage facility for several outlying satellite gathering areas such as Watson, Tickalara, Cooroo and Naccowlah. The partners in the project are: Santos, which is the operator as well, Delhi and Origin Energy.
The central facility comprises:
- oil processing inlet separators, dewatering tanks, evaporation ponds and skimming ponds
- centralised electrical power supply to beam pumps and ESPs at Jackson and Naccowlah facilities (Jackson 3.5MW - Naccowlah 5MW)
- oil storage (two tanks, 63,000 barrels total)
- shipping pumps.
Water is provided by bores and a flash evaporator plant and 4.5MW electricity generation capacity is on site.
