Karoon Gas plans to lease a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) facility for development of the project. The development concept also includes two extended horizontal production wells and one gas injection well.

FEED study is expected to be completed in the March quarter of next year at an estimated cost of less than A$10m ($8.05m).

“At its peak, the resource is expected to produce nearly 28,000bpd.”

After the FEED process starts, the company intends to issue a request for tenders to select suppliers for the engineering procurement construction and installation (EPCI) work package for Echidna development.

Based on recent supplier discussions, Karoon expects to receive tenders that will significantly reduce upfront capital commitments.
