Production from the Kipper Tuna Turrum project will help maintain current gas production levels from the Gippsland Basin, which has been producing since 1969. The first stage of the project was started up in 2013 with production of natural gas from the Tuna field via two new pipelines in June 2013. The first oil was produced from the Turrum field through the new Marlin B platform in October 2013. Due to the complex chemical composition of the natural gas from the deeper Kipper and Turrum fields, additional treatment facilities were installed at Longford, including the new Gas Conditioning Plant. Kipper and Turrum gas production came on line on March 2017, following completion of the Gas Conditioning Plant.

Production from the Kipper Tuna Turrum project will help maintain current gas production levels from the Gippsland Basin, which has been producing since 1969.

The first stage of the project was started up in 2013 with production of natural gas from the Tuna field via two new pipelines in June 2013. The first oil was produced from the Turrum field through the new Marlin B platform in October 2013.

Due to the complex chemical composition of the natural gas from the deeper Kipper and Turrum fields, additional treatment facilities were installed at Longford, including the new Gas Conditioning Plant.

Kipper and Turrum gas production came on line on March 2017, following completion of the Gas Conditioning Plant.
