Emperor Energy executes agreement with APA Group

The Pre-FEED study will include:

• Pre-FEED design for a gas processing plant to operate adjacent to and in parallel with the existing Orbost gas processing plant owned by APA.
• Pre-FEED concept design for a subsea pipeline approximately 40 km in length from the Judith gas field to a shoreline crossing.
• Pre-FEED design for an export pipeline to the Eastern Gas Pipeline located to the north of the Orbost gas plant.
• Refinement of indicative project cost estimates and project scheduling.

The Pre-FEED study is scheduled to commence in July 2020 requiring 4 months to complete. APA will carry out the work using a balanced combination of both in house and external expertise.

The design basis for the Pre-FEED is 80 million standard ft³/d (90TJ/day) of sales gas across a 25-year project life with gas processing to meet the AS4564 gas sales specification.

Emperor Energy and APA established a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) relating to the Judith Gas Project in October 2019. The Pre-FEED Agreement is the first Binding Agreement progressing from the MOU.
