Strike Energy (ASX:STX) and its joint venture partner Talon Energy (ASX:TPD) have announced approval for the Environmental Plan for the construction and commissioning of the Walyering gas field.
Construction and commissioning is expected to take six weeks, with production operations to follow on completion of pipeline connection.
The estimated cost of the wells and production facility is $19.2M, plus $3.8M in costs for the connection and metering to the APA owned Parmelia Gas Pipeline.
First gas sales are targeted in April 2023, with 36.5 PJ of gas sold to Santos (ASX:STO) on a firm basis over a period of five years.
The facility will be powered by solar and battery storage, and is expected to have one of the lowest emissions intensities for current WA domestic gas supplies.
