Through a 31km subsea tie-back, the reserves will be produced to the Ngujima-Yin floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, which is stationed over the Vincent oilfield.
Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said: "We have achieved investment spend at the low end of our guidance range by leveraging the latest technologies and using existing FPSO infrastructure.
"This allows us to accelerate the development of previously stranded resources.
"Greater Enfield is a demonstration of our phased and sustainable approach to growth."
