6 Description of the Activity The scope of this EP is for the Waitsia Gas Project and includes the commissioning and operation of the following infrastructure:
Senecio-03 and Waitsia-01 Wells Senecio-03 and Waitsia-01 Flowlines Pipelines (PL111 and PL64) Northern Hub XPF Hovea Production Facility (HPF)
The commissioning of the Waitsia Gas Project will be undertaken by AWE and their contract operator Upstream PS with support from Enscope Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM). Enscope EPCM will hand over the Waitsia Gas Project after commissioning to Upstream PS to operate.
All Waitsia Gas Project activities are within existing disturbance areas. Access is via Pye Road or Milo Road and existing access tracks (Figure 1).
6.1 Infrastructure
6.1.1 Well Head Compounds
The Senecio-03 and Waitsia-01 wellhead compounds are existing areas previously graded and prepared for drilling activities (Figure 1). The wellheads and bunded chemical injection facilities are within a fenced area with locked vehicle and personnel access gates. Above ground pipework connects the wellheads to the buried gas flowlines. Solar/battery power is utilised for controls and communication system, corrosion protection and lighting. Impressed current cathodic protection (CP) is maintained for production casing, wellheads and buried pipework. Chemicals injected onsite from bunded containers (<1000 L) include methanol, corrosion inhibitor and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) scavenger.
6.1.2 Flowlines
Buried carbon steel flowlines and an instrument airline connect Senecio-03 and Waitsia-01 to the Northern Hub. The flowlines were constructed in 2016 in accordance with AS2885 with a design life of 25 years. The flowlines are operated in accordance with AS2885. Line of site markers are field set and in accordance with AS2885 requirements. Impressed current CP is maintained on the flowlines. There are no pigging facilities on the flowlines.
6.1.3 Northern Hub
The Northern Hub (including bunded chemical injection facilities) is within a fenced area with locked vehicle and personnel access gates. The incoming fluid from each wellhead is combined before being passed into the buried PL111. Solar/battery power is utilised for controls and communication system and lighting. Impressed current CP is maintained for buried pipework. Chemicals injected onsite from bunded containers (<1000 L) include methanol, corrosion inhibitor and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) scavenger.

6.1.4 Waitsia Gas Pipeline
The Northern Hub is connected to the XPF via the buried carbon steel Waitsia Pipeline (PL111). The 6364 m pipeline was constructed in 2016 in accordance with AS2885 with a design life of 25 years. The pipeline is operated in accordance with AS2885. An instrument airline is installed to provide instrument air to the Northern Hub and Senecio-03 and Waitsia-01 well compounds. A pig launcher on a concrete bunded area is located at the Northern Hub and a pig receiver is provided upstream of the connection point to the XPF. Impressed current CP is maintained on the PL111.
6.1.5 XPF
The XPF is within a fenced area with locked vehicle and personnel access gates.
The facility is designed to produce up to 10mmscfd. The following equipment is operated at the XPF:
Slugcatcher - captures received liquids and controls slugs Closed unit absorbent bed (bunded) comprising:
Inlet filter coalesce / separator - removes liquid droplets Mercury guard bed - removes mercury Outlet particulate filter - removes any dust / particulates from gas stream
Liquid collection boot - removes bulk liquids from the well stream fluid (bunded) Gas/gas exchanger - pre-cools methanol treated gas prior to feed into the low
temperature separator (LTS) (bunded) LTS - conditions the methanol treated gas to export sales specifications by separating the
gas and liquid phases (bunded) Export coalescer and filter - removes liquid and dust from the export gas (bunded) Metering skid - provides metering, custody transfer and outlet flow control of ‘sales gas’
(bunded) Gas break out tank - receives site liquids under pressure from vessels on site and allows
evolved gas to vent (bunded) Liquid stock tank - receives liquids gravity fed from the gas break out tank with residence
time in tank allowing separation of water and condensate (bunded) Loading facility (bunded) comprising:
Bunded load-out bay Load-out pump (condensate / water) Load-in pump (methanol)

Site office and associated amenities (eg, water tank supplied with town water, bottled drinking water, sewage)
6.1.6 Xyris Pipeline
The XPF is connected to the Parmelia Pipeline via the buried carbon steel Xyris Pipeline (PL64). The 400 m pipeline was constructed in 2004 in accordance with AS2885 with a design life of ~25 years. There are no pigging facilities on the pipeline.
A fenced compound at the connection to the Parmelia Pipeline contains an inlet tee, isolation valve, insulating gasket, vent valve, temperature transmitter and check valve. These facilities are managed by APA.
The pipeline was operated from 2004 to 2012 when it was placed into care and maintenance. Surveys undertaken in 2015 on the pipeline in preparation for recommissioning include:
ILI inspection - no significant issues
Pipeline hydro test - successful
Depth of cover survey - exceeds minimum requirements
Pipeline marker line of site survey (in accordance with AS2885)
Waitsia Gas Project Commissioning and
Operations Environment Plan Summary
21/HSEQ/ENV/PL06SUM - Revision 2 Page 10 of 18
Reintroduction of hydrocarbons is scheduled for during commissioning (Section 4.6). The pipeline is operated in accordance with AS2885.
6.1.7 HPF and DPF
The DPF is operated in accordance with the Dongara Gas Field Environment Plan [21/HSEQ/ENV/PL03] (DGF EP). The condensate from the XPF is taken to the DPF condensate loading bay and transferred into the DPF condensate storage tanks. This activity is managed under the DGF EP.
The HPF is under Care and Maintenance. Waitsia Gas Project operations will be conducted at the HPF in accordance with this EP.
Approximately 15 kL/week Produced Formation Water (PFW) from the XPF will be transferred to the existing lined HPF Evaporation Pond or the refurbished lined HPF ‘Turkey’s Nest’. The loading bay at both locations are bunded.
Chemicals for the Waitsia Gas Project are stored in the HPF Chemical Storage Shed.
Waste not stored at the XPF will be taken to the HPF or the DPF and stored on a hardstand area.
Where water is required for process or maintenance purposes (not usually required), water will be supplied from the licenced DPF Abstraction Bores or the licenced Hovea Water Supply Bore (HWSB) or town water supply.
6.2 Commissioning Details Commissioning of the Waitsia Gas Project includes the introduction of natural gas into the system (remote wells, flowlines, Northern Hub, PL111, XPF and PL64 into the Parmelia Pipeline).
Commissioning is estimated to take up to ten days and the activities include:
Venting ~700 m3 nitrogen gas (to zero pressure) into atmosphere before closing system (no hydrocarbon emissions, small slug of nitrogen will be exported with sales gas)
Wellhead control of the choke valve Methanol injection to control hydrates at the wellhead chokes Managing wellhead temperatures Managing flowline and pipeline temperatures and pressures Managing well flow rates Testing and confirming the correct operation and functioning of safety shutdown systems
under operational conditions Monitoring liquid levels at the slug catcher and liquids handling facility estimated Monitoring and controlling pressure and temperature at the LTS to achieve export quality
natural gas Methanol injection to control hydrates at the LTS Manning and monitoring the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) at the DPF Control
Room with field operational support confirming correct field and PLC control responses Monitoring local control at the XPF Metering Facility Controlling flowrates at the XPF Metering Facility to achieve nominated delivery rates and
export quality natural gas
The DEA will be utilised during commissioning before switching to the GEA when stable process conditions have been achieved.
As gas is being introduced to the system during commissioning there will be some venting of gas (eg. breakout tank vent which vents under normal conditions and any process upsets).
