Overview
Imperial Oil & Gas Pty Ltd is proposing the Carpentaria Pilot Program (CPP) for the recovery of petroleum on an appraisal basis at its unconventional gas project on EP 187 (NT Portion 5706) approximately 66km west of Cape Crawford.
The proposal follows on from petroleum exploration and appraisal undertaken within EP 187 since 2019 and will include drilling, stimulation, tie-in of wells and appraisal testing at up to 4 new well pads and 2 existing well pads. It also includes construction of the Carpentaria Gas Plant (CGP) and Water Handling Station (WHS) and the installation of buried gas and wastewater flowlines between well pads, the WHS, and the CGP. The total land disturbance is approximately 226 hectares and the proposed groundwater extraction is up to 950ML over 5 years.
