LNG is Liquefied natural gas that has been temporarily converted to a liquid form to make storage and transportation easier and more efficient. The increasing number of coal seam gas projects in the Surat Basin Region form part of a larger boom in the Australian LNG industry, which has A$200 billion worth of projects that are expected to make Australia the world’s second-largest LNG exporter by 2015.
The project is the development of an LNG facility on Curtis Island off Gladstone which will play an important role in meeting growing world demand for cleaner burning fuels. The proposed LNG Plant Project will be supplied with coal seam gas from reserves located in the Surat Basin.
The project involves the development of substantial CSG resources in the Surat and Bowen Basins; building a 450 km transmission pipeline; and construction of a multi-train LNG facility on Curtis Island, near Gladstonewith a total capacity of up to 18 million tonnes of LNG per annum.
Gladstone Liquefied Natural Gas Project
This project proposes to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility at Gladstone to commercialise coal seam gas (CSG) resources in the Comet Ridge and Roma region.
Qld Curtis Liquefied Natural Gas Project
The Queensland Curtis LNG project proposes to develop an integrated liquefied natural gas project in Queensland comprising the expansion of coal seam gas operations in the Surat Basin to provide gas for two liquefied natural gas plants or trains and gas for domestic markets as well as the development of a gas and water pipeline network of approximately 800 kilometres.
This project proposes to develop coal seam gas production wells and associated facilities within an area covering approximately 8,000 square kilometres. The tenures cover an area from Wandoan to Chinchilla, extending further south to Cecil Plains in the Darling Downs through to Goondiwindi in southern Queensland.
Surat to Gladstone Pipeline Project
The pipeline proposed is to deliver coal seam gas (CSG) from Kogan North near Dalby to a proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility at Fisherman’s Landing near Gladstone
Gladstone LNG Project Fisherman’s Landing
This project proposes to develop a mid-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Fisherman’s Landing Wharf (FLW) near Gladstone. The proposal has an expected life of 25 years and the first stage would produce up to 1.6 million tonnes of LNG per year. A proposed second stage would double the capacity within three years of Stage 1.
