Rafael Conventional Gas Project

Overview

The proposal is to develop a compact, modular, gas processing facility (the Rafael Gas Processing Facility [RGPF]) at the expanded Rafael well site to process conventional gas from two co-located production wells. Each well will be connected by a dedicated flowline to the inlet separation system from which the gas will be treated and liquefied into liquefied natural gas (LNG), and condensate liquids (condensate) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will be stabilised, stored and prepared for road transport. The Proposal includes the RGPF, comprising inlet separation, condensate stabilisation, LPG recovery, modular small-scale LNG processing unit, storage and load-out infrastructure, power generation, utilities and supporting site services.

The Rafael Conventional Gas Project is located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, approximately 85 km south of Derby.
