Start of Environmental Assessment for the Subsea Drilling and Installation of Julimar Phase 3, Western Australia, Focusing on Projected Lifetime and Existing Infrastructure.

The Australian regulatory body NOPSEMA is conducting the environmental assessment of Woodside Energy’s plans for the subsea drilling and installation of Phase 3 of the Julimar development.

The site where Julimar is located is in waters off Western Australia, approximately 170 km northwest of Dampier.

The Phase 3 development by Woodside will include the drilling of up to four wells in the Julimar field and one well in the Penfolds prospect, along with the related subsea installation. The production system will have a projected lifespan of 25 years and will extract hydrocarbons from the Julimar and Penfolds reservoirs, using the existing infrastructure from Phases 1 and 2, the third-party operated Wheatstone platform, and the onshore LNG plant. The environmental assessment will be a crucial point in this process to ensure the sustainability of operations.

Wells will be drilled by a semisubmersible MODU anchored or by a hybrid MODU with moorings and dynamically positioned systems. The drilling is expected to last 60 days per well.

Environmental Assessment and Sustainable Development

In 2021, as part of Phase 2 development, Woodside Energy and Subsea 7 delivered what was believed to be the largest diameter corrosion-resistant Alloy (CRA) piping ever ‘wrapped’ around a spool. The project involved the installation of 22 km of an 18-inch CRA coated gas transmission flowline.

Environmental Assessment in Offshore Drilling

For Phase 3, two wells are proposed to connect to a new two-slot production manifold that will connect to the existing T-line manifold within the 18-inch flowline via approximately 2.5 km of flexible flowline.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Brazil becomes a member of the IEA and could become a protagonist in ocean energy by accessing advanced technologies, attracting international capital, and accelerating the transformation of the energy matrix.

The Brazilian government and Spain signed a strategic agreement on critical minerals this week and accelerated plans to attract investments, dominate essential technologies, and position Brazil as a competitive hub in the new global economy.

Weighing less than 250 grams and comparable in size to a smartphone, a microdrone with 3D-printed propellers reaches 340.78 km/h and enters the Guinness World Records as one of the fastest electric quadcopters ever built.

China imposes billion-dollar fines on seven e-commerce platforms after violations in food delivery and pressures the sector to correct flaws that affect trust, food safety, and consumer experience.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
