Most WA projects back on stream

More oil and gas projects are resuming operations after the Bureau of Meteorology cancelled a cyclone warning as tropical storm Melanie moved away from the coast of Western Australia.

Woodside's Cossack Pioneer project will re-start production today after the floating production, storage and offloading vessel was reconnected. Production was shut down at Cossack Pioneer and Enfield on Dec. 29. Enfield resumed production on Dec. 31. Santos' Mutineer Exeter, also shut-in on Dec. 29, re-started production late last night and is now producing 5,000 b/d of oil. Mutineer Exeter, which produced at an average rate of 27,890 b/d in the third quarter, has been producing at a reduced rate of between 4,000 and 5,000 b/d due to electrical damage to subsea pumps. The operator's Griffin oil field, however, has remained offline, as attempts to reconnect the FPSO were unsuccessful under unfavourable weather conditions.
