Strike Energy Limited has announced that production has started at the Walyering gas field.

On 25 September 2023, the Walyering gas field began exporting sales gas into the Parmelia Gas Pipeline under commissioning arrangements with Santos WA Energy Limited. Strike’s operations team plans to increase production rates in the coming week.

Under the commissioning conditions of the Santos gas sales agreement, the sales gas is sold into the Santos gas sales agreement. Firm gas sales to Santos are set to begin in early October. 

“The commencement of production from the Walyering gas field marks a significant milestone in Strike’s history. The rapid transition from explorer in the Perth Basin in 2019 to a producer is now complete. The Company is poised to build upon this success through its government endorsed Perth Basin gas acceleration strategy. It has been 10 years since the last operator commissioned a new greenfield domestic gas development in WA, and as such, the Strike team is incredibly proud of this achievement,” Strike Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Stuart Nicholls said.

“First gas at Walyering is a proud moment for Talon and our shareholders. Transitioning from Explorer to Producer has been an important milestone for the business. We look forward to working with Strike and supplying firm gas into our gas sales agreement with Santos,” Talon Energy Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Colby Hauser stated.
