Siemens to Supply Compressor Trains to APLNG

Siemens Energy will supply up to ten compressor trains to Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) in Queensland, Australia.

The APLNG project includes the development of coal seam gas fields in south-central Queensland, construction of upstream gas gathering and processing facilities, and a 450km main transmission pipeline from the gas fields to the LNG facility.

The Siemens compression solution will be integrated into APLNG’s upstream gas-gathering facilities to reduce low pressure coal seam gas.

The gas will be delivered via the main pipeline to the LNG facility where it will be cooled into liquefied natural gas.

Each compression train will consist of two compressor skids, one low pressure and one high pressure, with each skid carrying two compressors with variable speed drives.

Each train will be able to transport around 84 million cubic feet per day of gas.

APLNG is a joint venture between Origin Energy and ConocoPhillips.
