    Consisting of a not normally manned platform and five production wells, the proposed Crux development would connect to the Prelude FLNG facility via a 165-km (103-mi) export pipeline.

    The Crux development is subject to further regulatory approvals prior to proceeding, including an accepted environment plan, a well operations management plan and facility safety case. All required regulatory approvals must be in place before activity can begin.
