The complete paper presents an integration of geology, geohazards, geophysics, and geotechnical assessments for a design of an offshore gas production facility and an associated export pipeline. The gas field described in the paper is off the northwest coast of Australia in the Timor Sea at a water depth of approximately 130 m.

Introduction

The gas field is envisioned to include a subsea production system, a fixed central processing platform (CPP) for separation and treatment, and a floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel for condensate. Processed gas will be transported by a new gas export pipeline (GEP) that connects the CPP with a tie-in point on an existing export pipeline. A schematic of the infield facilities is shown in Fig.
