Consisting of a platform and five production wells, the proposed Crux development would connect to the Prelude FLNG facility via a 165 km export pipeline.
This announcement follows a thorough and careful assessment process of almost two years. In line with statutory timeframes, this has included a public comment process and consideration of all feedback.
The Crux development is subject to further regulatory approvals prior to proceeding, including an accepted environment plan, a well operations management plan, and facility safety case. All required regulatory approvals must be in place before activity can begin.
A statement of reasons and final OPP document will be published by NOPSEMA within 10 days of the acceptance decision, in accordance with the regulatory requirements.
