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.
Major construction challenges included major river crossings, a variety of cultural heritage sites and liaising with some 4,000 property owners.
Mitchell designed and constructed six of the seven supply systems in just over 3 years, delivering the project 6 years ahead of the original 10 year time frame.
Mitchell’s safety performance on the project was outstanding, completing 900,000 manhours without a single LTI.
