Santos expects first gas from its Barossa project in the Timor Sea offshore northwest Australia in third-quarter 2025.

The development is nearing the 80% completion mark, the company said in a results update, with the export pipeline between the FPSO and the Darwin LNG complex now finished.

A third development well has been drilled and completed with better-than-expected reservoir results. Finally, the FPSO is on track to depart for Australia early next year.

Once fully onstream, the field should add about 1.8 MM t/year to Santos’ LNG portfolio.
