Beach Energy has announced a milestone for the Enterprise gas field, with first sales gas delivered on 12 June 2024.
Located 3.5km from Port Campbell, the Enterprise wellsite was drilled directionally to target the Enterprise gas field.
The Enterprise field successfully connected to the Otway Gas Plant in Victoria and will now supply gas to Origin Energy.
Beach Energy managing director and chief executive officer Brett Woods said first gas from the field is a significant milestone for the company.
“I thank all of our staff contractors, landholders, traditional owners and other valued stakeholders for the sage delivery of the Enterprise development,” Woods said.
“Enterprise is a critical new source of gas which will help support security of energy for the East Coast market for years to come. It reinforces the importance of ongoing exploration and development in the Otway Basin to support the rollout of renewables, household energy needs and manufacturing in Victoria.”
In January 2024, Beach Energy signed a gas sales agreement to supply Origin Energy with gas from the Enterprise field until the end of 2026.
The agreement was contracted at competitive market pricing and providers certainty for higher Otway Basin gas offtake, according to the company.
