Bengal said the commissioning of the pipeline is significant because it enables production from the previously drilled eight Cuisinier wells to be
delivered to sales points through a pipeline, rather than trucking.
The company also said the eight wells flowed about 1,400-1,500 barrels of oil per day (bopd) during the launch phase.
The oil flowed will be processed at the Cook oilfield production and de-watering infrastructure with and is transported to the sales point through the Cook to Merrimelia Oil Pipeline.
The completion and tie-in work for the oil wells is expected to commence in July 2013 for the oil wells.
