Technical features
The project involves the production of coal seam natural gas in the Surat and Bowen basins in eastern Queensland, which surround the regional centres of Roma and Fairview. Gas will be piped then 435 kilometres (270 mi) to a gas liquefaction plant at Hamilton Point West on Curtis Island near Gladstone, Queensland. There, coal seam natural gas will be converted into LNG.
The initial annual capacity of the LNG plant will be between 3 million and 4 million tonnes of LNG.
The front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase of the project is underway. The FEED work is being carried out by Foster Wheeler and Bechtel. A final investment decision on the GLNG project was approved by the State and Federal Governments in May and September 2010 respectively. The first shipments of LNG are scheduled for 2015.
