The platform is located about 130km offshore from Dampier, north-west Western Australia. The project is expected to begin production in 2019.

GWF-2 will develop the hydrocarbon resources of the fields, including Keast, Dockrell, Sculptor, Rankin, Lady Nora and Pemberton.

The first phase of the GWF development consisted of recovery of gas/condensate from a total of five subsea production wells located in the Tidepole field and the Goodwyn H (A/B) units in the Goodwyn field.
