APLNG is Australia’s largest producer of coal seam gas (CSG), supplying Queensland’s domestic gas market, as well as processing CSG into liquefied natural gas to meet growing export demand. Exploration for CSG in central and south west Queensland extends through the Bowen and Surat basins, with nearby towns including Roma, Chinchilla and Miles.
This particular section included gas and water gathering pipelines, along with the added complexity of installation of HV & FOC reticulation, often commingled within the trenches with the PE Gas & Water pipelines.
Pneumatic testing was progressively completed in five defined sections, allowing a sequenced handover of the asset to commence early gas extraction.
Completed on time and on budget, with zero defects, despite significant challenges of slow rock excavation and inclement weather.
