The A$1.48 billion Enfield project in Western Australia started production in July 2006.
Oil is produced through five subsea wells connected to the floating production storage and offtake vessel, Nganhurra. The vessel has a maximum design production rate of about 100,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of about 900,000 barrels of oil.
Enfield, a substantial oil resource, was discovered in 1999 along with the nearby Vincent and Laverda oil fields.
