The Varanus Island Hub is the base of Santos’ Western Australian energy portfolio and has been in operation since 1986. Located 75km offshore northwest Australia, Varanus Island is surrounded by a network of offshore fixed production platforms which feed gas, oil and condensate into the island’s facilities for processing, storage and export to market. Key facilities include those that support Santos-operated John Brookes, Harriet, Spar and East Spar Joint Ventures. Gas, condensate and oil from the John Brookes, Harriet and Spar-Halyard fields is piped to the Varanus Island processing facility where the condensate is removed and the raw gas processed.
