Origin Energy Resources Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Origin Energy Limited (Origin), as operator of the BassGas Joint Venture, advises that the Yolla Mid-Life Enhancement (MLE) project has reached a major milestone with the successful lifting and connection of the new accommodation and controls module to the Yolla A platform in Bass Strait.

Origin Chief Executive Officer Upstream, Mr Paul Zealand said, 'Offshore construction for Stage 1 of the Yolla MLE project is well advanced. The safe installation of the accommodation module is an important part of the platform upgrade, which will continue with the addition of gas compression and new condensate pumping capabilities.

"The MLE will improve operational efficiencies at BassGas and access remaining gas reserves to allow the continuing supply of gas to help meet Victoria's energy needs,' Mr Zealand said.
