Santos, Fluor Team Up For Australian LNG Project

Australia’s Santos has selected Fluor to develop upstream facilities at the Gladstone liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Queensland, Australia.

Santos said it is planning to award the EPC contract after a final investment decision. In the meantime, it will extend Fluor’s engineering design contract, including early works worth A$50m ($44m).

The Gladstone LNG project involves the conversion of coal seam gas into LNG from the Surat and Bowen basins in Queensland.

The upstream component comprises all coal seam gas and associated water gathering and processing infrastructure for the Fairview and Roma fields.

The gas will be transported through a gas export pipeline between the coal seam gas fields and an LNG plant at Curtis Island after the collection and processing.
