2 PERMIT SUMMARY The Katnook, Ladbroke Grove, Haselgrove and Haselgrove South fields are located within PPL62 and PPL202 while the Redman Field is within PPL168 (Figure 1).
Katnook Field came on line from February 1991. Gas is processed via low temperature separation to achieve pipeline hydrocarbon and water specifications. The plant ran free flow from wellhead pressures until mid 2003, when compression was added to provide adequate pressure drop for low temperature separation. Condensate recovered from the process is trucked to the Shell Refinery in Geelong, Victoria. Total cumulative production from the Katnook complex at the end of December 2010 was 37.1 PJ.
The Ladbroke Grove facilities were completed in December 1999 with production from the Ladbroke Grove gas field commencing in January 2000. After processing to remove liquid content, produced gas was delivered to the neighbouring Ladbroke Grove Power Station. Production from the Ladbroke Grove field ceased in December 2006, when gas supply could no longer meet power station demand.
Origin Energy (Origin) operated the plant and associated gas fields within PPL 62, 168 and 202 from the 1990s to 2008. In late 2008, Origin completed a transaction transferring these assets (100% interest) to Adelaide Energy Limited (ADE), subject to Ministerial approval, which was ultimately granted in June 2009.
PL19 was granted to ADE in November 2009 to connect existing wells within Petroleum Exploration Licence 255 (PEL255), Petroleum Retention Licence 1 (PRL1), Petroleum Retention Licence 2 (PRL2) and PPL202 to existing operational flow line infrastructure which is connected to Katnook Gas Plant (Figure 1). PL19 construction was completed in March 2010 and commissioned in April 2010. The design parameters for these four pipelines are shown in Table1.

3 REGULATED ACTIVITIES
3.1 RESERVOIR AND DOWN HOLE WORK
3.1.1 Reservoir Management
Management of each field’s gas production has been planned based on the following considerations:
• Safety and environmental considerations;
• Maximising gas recovery from the field;
• Reservoir considerations;
• Wellbore considerations;
• Plant constraints and operational considerations;
• Field deliverability and production optimisation;
• Data acquisition and field monitoring;
• Maximising condensate revenue.
Acquiring production information and monitoring the wellhead shut-in and flowing pressures on a routine basis are essential for updating the field gas deliverability forecast and ongoing reservoir evaluation.
3.1.2 Well Schedule
The following well schedules have been programmed to meet all the reservoir and operating considerations.
There are 6 low-inerts gas producers in PPL 62 & 168 and 202: Katnook 2, Katnook 3, Redman 1, Haselgrove 1, Haselgrove 2 and Haselgrove South 1 and Haselgrove South 2. The Katnook Field came on production from February 1991 to supply gas to the southeast market. Katnook was the only producing field in this area until end of May 1997 when the Haselgrove Field commenced production. Katnook 3 was shut in during 2003 due to water handling difficulties in the gas plant. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to put the well back on online and the well remains shut in. In 2010, attempts to flow Haselgrove South 2 were unsuccessful.
Only Katnook 2, Redman 1, Haselgrove 1 and Haselgrove South 1 from within PPL62, PPL168 and PPL 202were produced in 2010.
The Ladbroke Grove Field is high CO2 Gas filed and came on production from January 2000 to supply gas to the Ladbroke Grove power generation station. Ladbroke Grove 2 and 3 were both high CO2 gas producers. In late 2004, water production began increasing in Ladbroke Grove 3, and the well ceased contributing to sales in April 2005. Ladbroke Grove 2 continued to supply gas to the Ladbroke Grove power station until December 2006, when the well was shut in.
Gas from other licence areas was also processed through the Katnook Gas Plant. This included gas/condensate from:
• Limestone Ridge well, within PRL1 produced from April 2010 onwards;
• Jacaranda Ridge 2 well within PEL255 produced under Extended Production Testing from June 2010;
• Patrick 1 and Hollick 1 wells within PEL255 produced under Extended Production Testing from December 2010.

3.1.3 Wellbore Activities
3.1.3.1 Monitoring of Wells
All wells were subject to tubing and casing annuli pressure testing on a routine basis to ensure well integrity.
3.1.3.2 Static Gradient Surveys
Static gradient surveys and drift runs were conducted during October and November 2010 in two wells: Katnook 1 and Haselgrove South 2.
3.1.3.3 Kinley Calliper Surveys
No Calliper surveys were conducted in 2010.
3.1.3.4 Liquid Evaluation Tests
No wellsite separator tests were conducted in 2010. Liquid production from some individual wells was measured at Katnook Plant when only one well was producing, using tank dips to calibrate the liquid flow meter readings, and this enabled allocation of overall liquid production to individual wells in each monthly report.
3.1.3.5 Water Shutoff Operation
No water shutoff operations were conducted in 2010.
3.1.3.6 Production Logging Testing
No production logging testing was conducted in 2010.
3.1.3.7 Re-perforation
No well re-perforation operations were conducted in 2010.

3.2.5 Emergency Response Exercises
In accordance with Regulation 31(3) of the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000, an emergency response drill was conducted at the Katnook Gas Plant on 24 June 2010, with a report submitted to meet the requirements of Regulation 31(6) .
The Emergency response procedure was found to be effective during this emergency drill exercise with all personnel involved in the emergency able to clearly identify their roles and responsibilities and demonstrate their competency to execute the procedures.
In October 2010, the Emergency Response Plan was reviewed, updated and re-distributed as part of standard annual review process.
3.2.6 Infrastructure Construction
During 2010, a number of plant and field facility projects were undertaken and will continue to be progressed over 2011.
• Katnook 1 (PPL62) water injection project to dispose of produced formation water into the Windermere Sandstone and Katnook Sandstone continued with surface facilities being constructed and tested. The water injection project gained PIRSA and EPA approval in 2009.
• Downhole surfactant Injection continued to operate on the three (3) well where Dyna-Coils were installed in 2009: Haselgrove (PPL62), Haselgrove South 1 (PPL62) and Redman 1 (PPL168).
• New wellsite facilities were designed and constructed at Haselgrove South 2 (PPL202), while wellsite modifications and improvements were made at Haselgrove South1 (PPL62) and Redman 1 (PPL168) to enable connection of new flow lines (PL19) and gas jack compressors.
• Four wells were connected to Katnook Plant by new pipelines (PL19) in April 2010: Haselgrove South 2 (PPL202) and three wells from outside the immediate Katnook Complex Area called Wynn 2 (PRL1), Limestone Ridge 1 (PRL2) and Jacaranda Ridge 2 (PEL255).
• Gasjack wellsite compression was installed in January 2010 on Haselgrove wells (PPL62) and Redman 1 (PPL168). Connections will be added to other well sites in 2011 to enable Gas Jack compressors to be mobilised to other operating wells.
3.2.7 Production Testing
No wells within PPL 62, 168 or 202 undertook production testing. However Jacaranda Ridge#2 and Patrick#1 (PEL255) production testing was processed through Katnook Gas Plant.
3.2.8 Equipment upgrades
During 2010, the Katnook Gas Plant control system, Citect was upgraded. This included radio surveys and PLC upgrade.

3.2.9 Produced Formation Water Disposal
During 2010, Adelaide Energy Limited continued to progress the K#1 water Re-injection Project with the aim to dispose well formation water. This project is still on-going with various pumps being tested. As such, continuous water disposal has not yet commenced.
Formation water produced during 2010 has been stored at existing ADE ponds. Water levels have been managed in compliance with the Statement of Environmental Objectives for the Production and Processing of Petroleum Products and Associated Activities at the Katnook and Ladbroke Grove Gas Plants (SEO)
3.3 PIPELINE / FLOWLINE CONSTRUCTION & OPERATION
3.3.1 Risk Management Review
PL19 is a new pipeline system that was constructed in 2010 to connect new ADE wells to existing pipe infrastructure and hence to the Katnook Gas Plant . Design was undertaken by GPA Engineering while construction was carried out by CDP/DTM.
Formal risk assessments, reviews and analysis were completed as part of the design, construction and commissioning process. The issues raised in these risk assessments were addressed as required under AS2885 and under the South Australian Petroleum Act 2000 approval process. The next formal risk assessment is due in 2015.
3.3.2 Construction
Construction of the 25 km underground pipeline (PL19) began in January 2010 and was completed in March 2010. Graders and bulldozers were used to clear the right-of-way prior to the laying and burying of the pipe. Vegetation and topsoil were stockpiled separately along the right-of-way. The spoil excavated by the trenching machine was also stockpiled on the right-of-way.
Excavators were used to lower pipe into the trench and trench spoil was returned in to the trench followed by top soil.
Flowline integrity was verified using hydrostatic testing in accordance with AS2885.5.
The easement has been re-contoured to match the surrounding landform and erosion controls were constructed where appropriate.
Warning signs were erected along the easement as per AS2885.1-1997.
3.3.3 Operations & Maintenance Activities
Pursuant to Regulation 33(2) (k) under the Act, an annual report must contain:
“In the case of a pipeline licence – the volume of any regulated substance transported during the relevant licence year”.
The pipeline was commissioned by Adelaide Energy Limited during April 2010. Since this time, W2 and HS2 pipeline have not been operational. Total product transported through PL19 in 2010 was:

Operations and maintenance activities have been conducted in accordance with AS2885 and other relevant standards with work programmed at frequencies in accordance with theADE Pipeline Operations & Maintenance Manual.
3.3.3.1 Pipeline Patrol Activities
Regular road patrols were completed in accordance with AS2885.3 requirements ensuring the following:
• Signage is in suitable condition and if not, repairs are made as soon as is practically possible.
• There are no unauthorized activities occurring along the pipeline route or at any of the facilities
• Soil erosion due to wind and water is addressed and restored in accordance with the SEO.
• There was no loss of the pipeline depth of cover during the reporting period.
• There are no leaks occurring at any of the pipeline facilities or along the pipeline route.
• All sites are secure and kept in a good, clean and tidy state.
• Maintenance activities including touching up above ground pipe coating condition, restoring fences, gates, padlocks, signage and fire extinguishers along with other housekeeping activities such as weeds are addressed as required.
During the reporting period no material issues occurred during the patrolling or other routine maintenance activities on the PL19 Pipeline.
3.3.3.2 Leakage Detection
Adelaide Energy monitors the pipelines and flowline for leakage:
1. Remotely from KGP control room, where operators monitor the system pressures, flows and alarms which have been set and fine tuned to indicate leaks in the system; and
2. during ground patrols as staff travel along the pipeline. Operations personnel look for signs of gas leakage such as dust plumes, the sound of escaping gas and dead or dying vegetation.
If a significant leak occurred on the ADE pipeline system personnel are able to isolate pipeline in a timely manner.
During 2010 there were no instances of any leaking valves or equipment on the ADE pipeline/flowline system.
3.3.3.3 Coatings
A DCVG coating condition survey of the pipeline was carried out following construction in March 2010 with no evidence to suggest significant coating deterioration given the pipeline was constructed and commissioned during 2010.
3.3.3.4 Cathodic Protection
The PL19 pipeline permanent cathodic protection system was commissioned during March 2010. The commissioning results show that the pipeline is adequately protected along the entire length with all instantaneous off potential readings being within the accepted AS 2832.1 criteria of greater than 0.85 volts with respect to a copper/copper sulphate reference electrode.
This pipeline is considered to be satisfactorily protected..
3.3.4 Emergency Response Exercises
Two desktop emergency response exercises were undertaken as required under the PL19 licence. A pre-commissioning exercise was undertaken in March 2010, where a scenario was created involving a pipeline rupture.
A post pipeline commissioning emergency response drill was conducted at the Katnook Gas Plant on 27 September 2010 in accordance with PL19 condition 6.4 and Regulation 31(3) of the Petroleum and
Petroleum Production Licence No. 62, 168 & 202

Geothermal Energy Act 2000. This was a desktop exercise, specifically directed at testing the ERP and ability of staff to respond to a pipeline incident.
3.3.5 Land Management
3.3.5.1 Pipeline Location and Referral Services
During 2010 Adelaide Energy Limited received and attended two enquiries via the free call 1100 “Dial Before You Dig” asset referral service in relation to third party activity in the vicinity of the PL19 pipeline.
There were no third party encroachments or unauthorized activity on the pipeline easement in 2010.
3.3.5.2 Land Owner Liaisons
The relevant notices of entry were issued to all landholders and occupiers as required befire construction and commissioning activities. Landholders were also contacted and visited through-out all stages of the project and their input sought for the development of a landholder line list that included consultation on fences, gates, water and stock crossing issues.
Landholders were also provided with a project brochure containing a project overview, an explanation of survey and construction activities and how Adelaide Energy proposed to minimize environmental impacts.
Road authorities and local rangers were also contacted regularly and advised on the projects progress.
There were no landowner complaint during construction of PL19.
3.3.6 Environmental Management
A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) was developed that set out the environmental measures and procedures that were to be implemented during the construction and commissioning phase of the project.
During the reporting period these environmental requirements as detailed in the CEMP and Statement of Environmental Objectives were audited by RPS and found to be generally complied with.

4.1 LICENCE AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Petroleum and Geothermal Regulations, Section 33 (2) (b) and (c) requires:
“a report for the year on compliance with the Act, these regulations, the licence and any relevant statement of environmental objectives, and
a statement concerning any action to rectify non-compliance with obligations imposed by the Act, these regulations or the licence, and to minimize the likelihood of the recurrence of any such non-compliance”.
In 2010, the Katnook Gas Plant was operated by Adelaide Energy in general accordance with the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000 and its regulations.
Compliance with the Katnook and Ladbroke Grove SEO has been good with all objectives being met by Adelaide Energy as the Operator. See below for further details.
During 2010, Adelaide Energy commenced a review of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIR) and Statement of Environmental Objectives for the Katnook and Ladbroke Grove Gas Plants (SEO). This has incorporated innovations since 2008 including Dyna-Coil downhole surfactant injection in 3 wells, Gasjack wellsite compression, new pipelines and underground water disposal via Katnook 1. The SEO was submitted to PIRSA for review on 23/12/2010.
