Description
- Wandoo field is located approximately 80 kilometres north-west of the town of Karratha.
- The field consists of the Wandoo A Unmanned Monopod; Wandoo B Production Platform and a Single Point Tanker Mooring and Offloading Facility. Wandoo B is a concrete gravity structure connected to Wandoo A by an undersea pipeline.
- Oil is stored in the concrete structure supporting the Wandoo B processing facilities and then offloaded through flexible pipelines to a CALM Buoy located 1.2 kilometres north of the Wandoo B platform.
- A floating hose is used in transferring the oil from the CALM Buoy to export tankers situated at a mooring facility.
