BassGas development

In October 2006, the BassGas Project was officially launched by the Premier of Victoria, Hon Steve Bracks MP. The Victorian Minister for Energy, Industries and Resources, Hon Theo Theophanous MP also attended the opening.

Origin Energy and its joint venture partners AWE, CalEnergy and Wandoo Petroleum Mitsui group of companies have invested $750 million over six years developing the Project, which produces gas, condensates and LPG from the Yolla gas field situated in Tasmania waters, 147 km off Victoria's southern coast. These products are processed for sale in the onshore processing facilities at Lang Lang, approximately 100 kilometres south east from Melbourne CBD.
