The East Spar field is 63 km southwest of Varanus Island, off the northwest coast of Australia in 95 m of water" The discovery came as the gas market in Western Australia was being deregulated, presenting a window of opportunity for gas sales if the development could meet delivery deadlines. These delivery targets forced the field and facilities development onto a fast-track schedule. An operator/contractor alliance was established among Western Mining Corp. (field operator), Kvaerner RJ Brown, and Clough Engineering.
