Santos Vice President Trevor Brown told The Australian Pipeliner publisher Great Southern Press that the company will be utilising existing contractors for work on the infrastructure connection agreements, while work on compression facilities will be undertaken at some point in the next few months.
The new agreements between the Santos GLNG and Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) projects aim to make gas transportation more efficient between the two projects’ Surat Basin gas fields in Queensland, and reduce the need for additional pipeline infrastructure.
Santos GLNG and APLNG are joint venture partners in a number of permits in the Surat and Bowen Basins, and the agreements will allow both parties to more efficiently access and transport their equity gas, in order to meet the requirements of their CSG-LNG projects.
