Cliff Head Wind and Solar Joint Venture
In addition to and in parallel with the WA-481-P transaction, Pilot and Triangle also agreed to form the Cliff Head Wind and Solar Project Joint Venture to initially assess the feasibility of the development of an offshore wind and onshore wind and solar power project centred around the Cliff Head Offshore Oil Field production facilities, Cliff Head Alpha and the onshore Arrowsmith Separation and Processing Facilities.
Under the Cliff Head Wind and Solar joint venture agreement, Pilot holds an 80% operating interest and will free carry Triangle, which holds a 20% interest, during the initial feasibility study period. This feasibility study will be conducted as part of Pilot's Mid-West feasibility study which is expected to commence in June 2021.
Triangle's Managing Director, Robert Towner, said "The consolidation of WA-481-P combined with the partnership at the Cliff Head Oil Field marks a new era for the Mid-West energy sector and Perth Basin. The Cliff Head Alpha Platform, Arrowsmith Stabilisation Plant and pipeline shoreline crossing provides significant infrastructure value to the region should the joint venture prove up additional conventional oil prospects and leads. The initiation of studies into wind and solar renewable energy is globally recognised to be complimentary for existing oil and gas infrastructure".
Pilot's Chairman, Brad Lingo, said "This is a great achievement to be able to bring WA-481-P and the Cliff

Head Oil Field back together and to bring both Pilot and Triangle to jointly assess the feasibility of integrating and anchoring the wind and solar renewable energy potential in the Mid-West Region of Western Australia with the Cliff Head Oil Field offshore and onshore facilities. Successfully putting these two elements together has the tremendous potential to create a really meaningful new energy project servicing the Mid-West."
