Business Wire
KBR (NYSE:KBR) today announced that it has been selected to
execute 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 580 kilometers (360 miles) of
pipelines, including: a 42-inch diameter coal seam gas (CSG)
pipeline (approximately 374 kilometers/232 miles); a 42-inch
diameter CSG collection header pipeline (approx 169 kilometers/105
miles); and six collection laterals of 12-24 inch diameter (5.4
kilometers/3.4 miles).
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.
“This contract award demonstrates KBR’s commitment to be
involved in delivering pipelines and associated infrastructure in
the important and emerging coal seam gas industry,” said Colin
Elliott, President, KBR Infrastructure and Minerals. “The expertise
we’ve developed in the gas pipeline sector in Australia to date
will be integral to the successful execution for MCJV, QCLNG and
APLNG and add to our capabilities in this rapidly growing
market.”
