Australian Pacific LNG (QLD)

Establishing the complete array of controls for a Project Management Office

Australia Pacific LNG Limited (APLNG) is a coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Queensland. The project included the development of CSG fields in the Surat and Bowen Basins, the construction of a gas transmission pipeline, the construction of a two-train LNG plant and associated facilities for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Curtis Island, near Gladstone and associated facilities to export the gas to international markets. Together, the project leveraged APLNG’s substantial coal seam gas (CSG) to enable the creation of a world scale, long-term industry in Queensland.
