KBR for Australia coal seam gas project
2 Jun 2011
Houston, Texas – KBR is to provide engineering design services for three coal seam gas (CSG) pipelines designed to carry CSG from gasfields in central Queensland, Australia to an export facility on Curtis Island.
The project will be executed for the McConnell Dowell/CCC joint venture (MCJV) on behalf of clients Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) and Asia Pacific LNG (APLNG).
KBR will execute engineering design services including pipeline design, process, civil and structural, mechanical and electrical engineering and instrument controls for the three CSG pipelines.
For QCLNG, KBR will design a pipeline from central Queensland to the coast that consists of more than 580km of pipelines, including: a 42-inch diameter coal seam gas (CSG) pipeline (about 374km); a 42-inch diameter CSG collection header pipeline, (about 169km); and six collection laterals of 12-24 inch diameter (5.4km).
A second pipeline for QCLNG and a third pipeline for APLNG will both consist of a 42-inch diameter high pressure transmission pipeline from the main line valve on the Queensland mainland, across the Narrows to the Curtis Island delivery station.
The shared design for the Narrows pipelines is the result of an agreement between QCLNG and APLNG to jointly contract to design build and deliver the two coastal pipelines.
