Field and context

The Barracouta field lies in the offshore Gippsland Basin and was Australia’s first commercial offshore petroleum discovery. Its principal gas accumulation occurs in Eocene shallow-marine sandstone at the top of the Latrobe Group; additional hydrocarbons occur in intra-Latrobe intervals. The mature field is developed through platform wells and later satellite subsea wells connected to the original Barracouta installation.
