Coniston and Van Gogh

INPEX holds a 47.499 per cent interest in the Santos-operated Coniston, Van Gogh and Novara oil fields approximately 40 kilometres offshore north of the North West Cape in Western Australia.

The Van Gogh and Coniston/Novara oil fields are serviced by the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, Ningaloo Vision. 

In January 2019, first oil from the Van Gogh infill project was announced, marking the successful completion of a program that included two subsea wells and connection into existing offshore infrastructure.

Project portfolio

INPEX is committed to recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose cultures have existed in Australia for more than 65,000 years.

In particular, we acknowledge the Larrakia people as the recognised Traditional Owners of the land and waters where Ichthys LNG onshore facilities are located, in addition to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people on whose lands our Perth office is situated. Furthermore, Broome and Djarindjin are important logistical locations for transit of our offshore workforce, and we therefore extend our acknowledgement to the Yawuru, Bardi and Jawi peoples, respectively.

INPEX acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in the development of our business in Australia and pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.
