The Barossa Gas Project is an offshore gas and condensate oil field under construction by Santos Limited in Australian waters in the Timor Sea around 300 km (190 mi) north of Darwin in the Northern Territory.[1] Upon completion in late 2025, it is estimated to be the most carbon-intensive gas development in Australia.[2]
The project is intended to supply the Darwin LNG facility (DLNG) at Wickham Point, Middle Arm near Darwin, only the second facility of its kind in Australia. The Barossa Gas Project will replace the supply from the Bayu-Undan field since reserves were depleted in 2023.[3] This requires construction of a new 262 km pipeline, known as the Darwin Pipeline Duplication Project, which, for part of its length, runs parallel to the existing Bayu-Undan to Darwin Pipeline.[4][5] The gas will then be liquified at the DLNG and then exported.[6]
The project was initially accepted by the Commonwealth Government's independent regulator for offshore oil and gas development, the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) in March 2018.[7] Santos bought ConocoPhillips' interest in the project in 2019.[8] The pipeline was approved in March 2024 and is currently around 67% completed.[9][10]
Worth at least A$4.7 billion, the project is expected to create around 600 jobs during construction and 350 ongoing jobs in Darwin over the following 20 years.[11]
