Jemena to reverse Eastern Gas Pipeline, enhancing gas supply to Victoria

Jemena reverses pipeline to enhance Victoria’s gas supply

Energy infrastructure company, Jemena, is planning to reverse the 797-kilometre Eastern Gas Pipeline (EGP) — potentially sending up to 300 TJ/d of gas south from New South Wales into Victoria. The EGP, commissioned in 2000, traditionally brought gas from Bass Strait to the New South Wales and Sydney market, supplying over 70 per cent of gas across New South Wales at times. The reversal project aims to make the EGP bi-directional, allowing it to deliver 200TJ/d south from Port Kembla Energy Terminal (PKET) — owned by Squadron Energy — by Winter 2026. With PKET over 90 per cent complete, it is Austr... more

Strike signs Walyering gas transportation agreement with APA

Strike has signed a two-year gas transportation agreement (GTA) with APA Group Pty Ltd, enabling the delivery of 10 TJ/d into the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) from the Walyering gas processing facility. This will be facilitated through a new inter-pipeline connection at Mondarra, currently under construction and commissioned by APA. This infrastructure is expected to be operational by late 2024. This agreement provides Strike access to the significantly larger and more active market connected to the DBNGP, where approximately 95 per cent of daily gas in Western Australia is sold and cons... more

Shell to start building Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant

Shell Nederland B.V. and Shell Overseas Investments B.V., subsidiaries of Shell plc, have taken the final investment decision to build Holland Hydrogen I, which will be Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plant once operational in 2025. The 200MW electrolyser will be constructed on the Tweede Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam and will produce up to 60,000 kilograms of renewable hydrogen per day. The renewable power for the electrolyser will come from the offshore wind farm Hollandse Kust (noord), which is partly owned by Shell. The renewable hydrogen produced will supply the Shell Energy and Chemica... more

AXP energy boosts production with low-cost well re-completion in the US

ASX-listed AXP Energy Limited has seen material production gains from a low-cost well re-completion of a single well in the Illinois Basin. The well re-completion for DPI-2605 has added considerably to gross daily production with the well now steadily flowing about 50 barrels of oil and 300 thousand cubic feet of gas per day. This represents a significant boost to AXP’s oil production which averaged 307 barrels of oil a day in April and 351 in May. After well re-completion, the well initially flowed naturally at 310 barrels and one million cubic feet of gas (intermittently) a day, achieving a maximu... more
