1.2.2.2.3 Tipton West

The Tipton West gas field is owned and operated by Arrow Energy and is located in PL 198 (see Figure 8), 20 km south of Dalby in the Surat Basin. Commercial production began in September 2006 and the gas produced is processed at the Tipton West Central Gas Processing Facility (Arrow Energy, 2014, pers. comm.). The Tipton West field is contracted to supply 6 PJ/year to the Braemar 1 Power Station and 3.5 PJ/year to the Braemar 2 Power Station for 15 years (Arrow Energy, 2014). The project has 2P reserves of 691 PJ as of 31 December 2013 (DNRM, 2014d). Under the proposed Surat Gas Project (one of five components of the Arrow LNG project), the Tipton West gas field would be expanded to also supply CSG for LNG export (Arrow Energy, 2014, pers. comm.).
