Ichthys Explorer will be towed to the Ichthys Field located offshore Western Australia over a period of nearly one-and-a-half months, when it will then undergo a hook-up.

The facility will be used to separate and process the produce recovered by the subsea production wells into gasses and liquids for 40 years.

The project’s floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, Ichthys Venturer, is also expected to be towed to the offshore field and undergo hook-up.
