Third Phase of Development

The third major phase of development saw the completion in 1992 of a third LNG train, followed by the commissioning in 1995 of the Goodwyn A offshore production platform, located 23km south-west of the North Rankin A platform.

In 1995, production of crude oil from the Cossack and Wanaea fields commenced from the Cossack Pioneer floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, with oil from the Hermes and Lambert fields coming on line in 1997.
Also, at the end of 1995, new LPG extraction and storage facilities were commissioned and a second ship-loading jetty, adjacent to the original jetty, was built to load LPG and condensate. Debottlenecking of the onshore gas plant also lifted annual LNG production capacity to 7.5 million tonnes (2.5 million tonnes per year from each processing train).
