Connection October 2024

Welcome to the October 2024 edition of Connection

This edition of Connection features our announcement of the successful and safe-start of the Kipper Compression Project. The project is vital for Australia’s energy security, and will supply as much gas alone as is consumed in all of Victoria in a typical year

In the latest update from our Longford Plant and Offshore operations, Manager Clinton Gentle celebrates the end of an era with the closure of Gas Plant 1 and the final shut-in of the Longford Crude Stabilisation Plant.

Two apprentices from our program developed in partnership with WPC Group, Brendan Anthonisen and James Binotto, take home second place at the Regional World Skills Australia Competition. We also take a look at the impressive career of David Levy, Senior Integrity Engineer, who credits his success to his team members and mentors across his career at ExxonMobil.

Members of the Mobil got the opportunity to tour a Long Range vessel at the Gellibrand wharf, which plays a key role in reliably supplying Victorian’s with the fuel they need.

This weekend we're co-sponsoring the Sale Show Night Carnival, featuring Sam Xuereb’s Monster Trucks event. Be sure to head there for some family-friendly fun!

As part of our commitment to identifying and actively engaging key stakeholders on our upcoming projects and activities, we will be holding a number of community drop-in session across Gippsland and South Gippsland. See here for further details on these.

We hope you enjoy this edition of Connection.
