Apache proposes to undertake a seabed cuttings remediation activity at the Brunello drill centre in petroleum permit WA-49-L. The Brunello drill centre is located approximately 35 km northwest of the Montebello Islands and 77 km northwest from Varanus Island in approximately 148 m of water depth.
The drill cuttings discharged during the Brunello drilling campaign have dispersed and consolidated around the drill centre location resulting in a potentially uneven surface. Prior to installation of the production crossover manifolds at the drill centre, remediation of the seabed is required. The drill cuttings will be removed from around the subsea infrastructure and relocated subsea to an area away from the Brunello drill centre.
The activity will be carried out 24 hours per day, seven days per week for a period of approximately 30 days. The latest date for completion of this remediation activity is December 2015.
