This release is a Start of Activity notification, sent by Woodside Energy (Victoria) Pty Ltd to a regulatory submissions mailbox on 17 December 2024, under the Minerva Decommissioning and Field Management Environment Plans for Commonwealth and State waters. It advises that decommissioning of the Minerva gas field (licences VIC/L22 and VIC/PL33) is due to begin around 23 December 2024 and run for 90 to 120 days, to about 30 April 2025. Commonwealth works lie about 6 km south of Port Campbell in 55 to 59 m of water and cover removal of around 5 km of pipeline bundle, well tie-in infrastructure and four wells. State works involve burying, cutting and retrieving 4.756 km of pipeline from a horizontal directional drill exit to the 3 nm limit. The Subsea 7 vessel Seven Sisters will be the primary decommissioning vessel, with no support vessels anticipated. Some listed coordinates appear malformed. The release contains no assessment, compliance or enforcement material.
