The proposed processing plant will draw from up to eight production wells, phased over a 15-year life-cycle.

The gas will be delivered to the Bunbury natural gas pipeline via the nearby Dampier.

Beach Energy CEO Morné Engelbrecht said: “This marks an important step towards completion of the Waitsia Stage 2 project and is a key milestone in providing renewed momentum, stability, and continuity to the project.

“The dedication and commitment of the project team has been second to none and will ensure the Waitsia Gas Plant becomes an important piece of energy infrastructure for Western Australia for many years to come.”
