The gas is piped in a 180km trunkline to the 4.3 million tonne per annum onshore facility, located between the North West Shelf Project and Dampier Port on the Burrup Peninsula.

Woodside says its production target for calendar 2015 is unchanged at between 84 and 91 million barrels of oil equivalent.
