Eni Australia Limited (Eni) proposes to develop the Verus gas field within the Bonaparte Basin, in retention lease NT/RL7 approximately 330 km north-west of Darwin in Australian waters in the Timor Sea. Eni's planned development consists of a floating production, storage and offloading facility (FPSO) moored at the Verus gas field location. The FPSO would process gas produced from the Verus gas reservoir through 12 production wells from a subsea production system. Gas would flow from the wells to the FPSO through infield flowlines. |  |
Bayu-Undan Carbon Capture and Storage The Bayu-Undan Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project targets the capture of up to 10 Mtpa of CO2 at a Darwin hub - initially from the Darwin LNG facility (DLNG), with potential future expansion to proximal 3rd party. Captured CO2 will be transported to, and stored in, the offshore Bayu-Undan reservoir (in Timor Leste waters). The Project will require additions and modifications to the DLNG facility, which is proposed as the foundation for a CO2 processing hub, as well as the repurposing of the Bayu-Undan to Darwin Gas Export Pipeline (GEP), the offshore processing facility and the facility wells for reinjection of the processed CO2. |

SunCable is proposing to build a renewable energy transmission system called the Australia-Asia PowerLink (AAPowerLink); one of the world’s largest solar farm and battery systems, to be located in the Barkly Region of the Northern Territory, with a 5,000 km transmission system to supply Darwin and Singapore with reliable, competitively priced, dispatchable, high volume renewable electricity. The AAPowerLink will integrate three technologies: ● The world’s largest solar farm ● The world’s largest battery ● A 5,000 km high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system both onshore and offshore Renewable electricity will be generated by a 17-23 GWp solar farm and 36-42 GWh battery energy storage located near Elliott, NT. The electricity generated at the Solar and Storage facility will be transmitted through 800km of high voltage direct current overhead transmission lines to greater Darwin, then via a 4,200km undersea (HVDC) transmission network to Singapore. The project is currently in the development phase, undertaking detailed design, planning and strategy work that will lead to financial close in Q4, 2023. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2024, with electricity provided to the NT in 2026 and Singapore in 2027. |
