Global awarded Woodside contract

Australia

SYDNEY, July 8, 2015 – Oil and gas independent Woodside Petroleum has awarded a contract to Global Maritime for a gas development project. The contract is for mooring and rig positioning services for the Julimar field located off the western coast of Australia.

Woodside’s Julimar-Brunello gas development project is expected to be completed by the middle of 2016 and to produce around 7.1 mcm (250 mcf) per day and 5,000 barrels per day of condensate. About 6.1 mcm (215 mcf) of this will go to the central processing platform Wheatstone, and the rest will be available for domestic consumption.

Global has recently been awarded another mooring and rig positioning contract by Australian operator Quadrant Energy last week for semi-submersible and jack-up operations in the country’s North West Shelf.

Woodside has a 65-percent stake in the subsea, multi-phase project as part of a $2.8 billion deal with US oil and gas company Apache.
