Abstract: The Pyrenees Development is located offshore Western Australia and involves the combined subsea development of the Ravensworth, Crosby and Stickle oil fields in approximately 200 meters. Reservoir depths are approximately 1100m TVDSS and the Ravensworth and Stickle fields contain have small gas caps. The Pyrenees crude has undergone some in-situ biodegradation resulting in a near saturated medium black oil with a specific gravity of 19 API, gas-oil ratio (GOR) of 150 to 187scf/stb and in-situ viscosity from 8 to 11cP at 60C. The oil has a high emulsion forming tendency when mixed with produced water and these emulsions may be stabilised by the formation of naphthenate soap scale. The fields will be developed with seventeen subsea wells, comprising 13 horizontal producers, 3 vertical water disposal wells and one vertical gas disposal well.
