Qube officially opened a new $24 million common user supply base for Western Australia’s oil and gas industry in Karratha yesterday.
The facility will be a major supply base for Tier 1 offshore oil and gas operators in the region, and will provide a range of services including material and inventory management, preservation, transport, quarantine management, and pest control and fumigation services.
Qube Director of Ports, Michael Sousa, officially opened the facility with the North West Supply Base team, customers and partners.
“Our Qube Energy business is an established provider of supply chain and technical support services to the onshore and offshore oil and gas sector in Australia and through this new common user hub, we will provide customers with the industry best practice services and technologies they have come to expect from Qube,” he said.
“Today, Qube Energy supports more than 4,000 onshore wells, and 1,000 rig supply vessels, barges and offshore construction vessels per annum at various locations throughout Australia and this new, common user supply base will further enhance that capability.”
Sousa said it was a privilege to unveil the new facility and to contribute to WA’s growing position in global energy production.
“Western Australia is right at the forefront of global energy production and we’re proud of the role we can play in supporting the continued growth and development of the industry, recognising the important role gas will play in the transition to a lower carbon future,” he said.
“We’re extremely proud to be cutting the ribbon on this new investment today and look forward to continuing to build on our existing commitments to the local community, including through our school partnership programs and other community initiatives.”
