Goodwyn A is an offshore production platform in Commonwealth waters about 135 km northwest of Karratha in Western Australia and has been operating since 1995.The Goodwyn A platform is situated in Production Licence (PL) WA- 5-L which is held by Woodside, BHP Billiton Petroleum, BP Developments Australia, Chevron Australia, Japan Australia LNG (MIMI), Shell Development (Australia), and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). Goodwyn A produces dry gas and condensate from the Goodwyn, Perseus and Searipple area
reservoirs. Gas and condensate from these reservoirs is transported via a network of pipelines to Goodwyn A and then on-shore to the Karratha Gas Plant for processing. The Goodwyn A is more than 290 metres tall and stands in a water depth of 131 metres. The platform combines production, re-injection, utilities and accommodation facilities. The 55,000 tonne production facility is secured to the seabed by 36 piles, which allow the structure to support its operating load and withstand cyclone conditions. Goodwyn A is designed for up to 30 production wells, including five re-injection wells, and has a daily production capacity of up to 36,000 tonnes of gas and 11,000 tonnes of condensate. Goodwyn A is marked on nautical maps surrounded by a five nautical mile exclusion zone to shipping.
