PERTH, Western Australia – Shell has reported a “significant” gas and condensate discovery in the Browse basin off the northwest coast of Western Australia.
The Bratwurst-1 exploration well was drilled in the AC/P64 permit. The 78-day drilling campaign was completed on Dec. 4, 2019.
Shell has 100% equity in AC/P64.
This discovery is 160 km (99 mi) northeast of the Shell-operated Prelude FLNG facility. The company said it presents an opportunity for a future tieback to Prelude.
“Gas is a core component of our strategy to provide more and cleaner energy solutions” said Zoe Yujnovich, executive vice president, Shell Australia. “Today’s announcement shows how, through exploration, we are building a strong pipeline of discoveries to support our assets in Western Australia.”
