QGC’s pipelines team has begun mobilisation of crews for the construction of the Charlie water and gas pipelines.
The Charlie project is located in the Surat Basin, Queensland, and includes a 33 km steel gas pipeline and a 31 km water pipeline, connecting the new Charlie Field Compression Station to the existing Woleebee Creek plant.
The construction contract for the pipelines was awarded to CPB Contractors (previously Leighton’s Contractors), who have engaged Murphy Pipe and Civil as the early works pipeline contractor.
This work is in addition to ongoing instillation of gas and water gathering pipelines to connect new wells to QGC’s existing processing networks, with the following activities scheduled for March:
- West and north west of Wandoan
