More gas tipped for East Coast

The Gippsland Basin joint venture (JV) between heavyweight BHP and ExxonMobil Australia, is expected to deliver more gas into the Australian domestic market by next year.

Exxon subsidiary Esso Australia has reached total depth on the first of its two West Barracouta gas wells, in the Bass Strait, offshore Victoria, with gas expected to be flowing to the market by early 2021.
