On Monday 24 December, the Beharra Springs gas plant was shut down due to a fire in the Condensate/Gas Separation part of the plant. The fire was successfully extinguished and no personnel were injured as a result of the incident.
The cause of the fire is unknown, however, a full investigation has been initiated. Origin, as the operator of the gas plant, will comply with all regulatory requirements to investigate and remediate the incident.
The damage is localised and until an integrity assessment is complete, it is not known how long it will take to investigate, repair and recommission the plant. It is anticipated the plant will be operational before the end of January.
Beharra Springs Gas Plant produces approximately 10TJ/day of gas.
Beharra Springs is a joint venture between:
Origin Energy 67%
Arc Energy 33%
