Australia’s proposed gas reservation scheme could include Shell’s Prelude LNG project, raising questions over pipeline access, domestic supply obligations and LNG project costs.
Santos expects the BW Opal FPSO at Barossa to ramp up next week following maintenance work, including compressor seal replacement and heat exchanger cleaning, supporting LNG supply to Darwin LNG over the long term.
Santos expects to restart the Barossa gas project around 18 April 2026 after temporary disruption at Darwin LNG linked to FPSO BW Opal commissioning issues.
Santos has announced that the BW Opal FPSO has received first gas following Ready-for-Start-Up (RFSU), marking a significant milestone in the Barossa LNG project that will supply Darwin LNG for the next two decades.
