The daily output of the Bass Strait oilfields has fallen to 19,000 barrels, having peaked at more than 500,000 in the 1980s. ExxonMobil Australia chairman Richard Owen believes that the oilfields are likely to be most attractive to companies with expertise in extracting value from resources projects that are nearing the end of their production life. He says there has been good initial interest from potential buyers of the oilfields, which ExxonMobil operates in partnership with BHP Billiton.
