Background to discovery (continued)
The stages which followed were; surveys, exploratory drilling, construction of production platforms on the oil and gas fields that were discovered, connecting these to the shore with pipelines on the sea bed, establishing a terminal at Longford, building a fractionating plant and a shipping terminal at Long Island Point on Westernport Bay and pipeline connection to Longford. The pipeline from Longford to the Melbourne terminal at Dandenong was the responsibility of the Victorian Pipelines Commission and subsequently the Gas and Fuel Corporation.
