In late 2018, Esso Australia embarked on the drilling of Sculpin-1. Drilled in 2278 m of water, this is Australia’s deepest water exploration well and the first ultra-deep water well in the Gippsland Basin. Drilling of this well was the culmination of a bold exploration campaign in the VIC/P70 permit at the southeastern margin of the prolific hydrocarbon producing Gippsland Basin, which also saw the drilling of Baldfish-1 and Hairtail-1 in 2018. An east coast gas market with a high demand for additional gas resources combined with Esso Australia’s renewed technical focus on the deep and ultra-deep water sectors of the VIC/P70 exploration permit led to the identification of the Sculpin prospect, a stratigraphic lead premised on a late Cretaceous deep water reservoir system flowing into the south east Gippsland Basin depocentre from southern hinterlands. Technical analysis including integrated seismic toolkits, spectral decomposition and colour-blend imaging, rock properties and amplitude versus offset/direct hydrocarbon indicator modelling were key to Esso’s decision to test the new play with the Sculpin-1 well. Although the well did not encounter hydrocarbons, it did provide insights into reservoir quality, source and migration in the previously untested southeastern margin of the basin.

The Kipper field is developed via a subsea tieback to the West Tuna platform, and produced into the Gippsland gas processing facilities to supplement long-term energy supply in South-East Australia. During the 2010 Kipper development drilling campaign, mercury was detected in the reservoir fluids. This late discovery required a change to the Kipper development plan due to the ripple effect of mercury along the production path. There are several key execution steps in brownfield concept design, and it is essential to select options that can cope with the reservoir variations and risks associated with tie-ins to brownfield assets. This paper describes how best practice execution was achieved by making good decisions when faced with change late in the field development cycle. The work highlights the benefits of having a clear understanding of the project drivers, options and brownfield constraints to select the right concept. Despite delays to production start-up until 2017, the Kipper Mercury Removal Project was successfully installed, and work practices updated to allow the Kipper field to be safely produced.

Bibliography: leaves 135-143. An anthropological analysis of an industrial dispute that occurred within the East Gippsland forest industry, 1997-1998 and how the workers strove to acheive better working conditions for themselves, and to share in the wealth they had created.
