“We are proud to be entrusted to deliver this important component as it highlights our capability to undertake complex and critical infrastructure in the energy resources sector.”

GLNG will pipe about 362 billion cubic feet of coalbed methane every year from the gas fields in eastern Queensland to the port of Gladstone, where it will be liquefied and exported.
Malaysia’s Petronas and South Korea’s Kogas have signed LNG offtake agreements for about 444.6 million cubic feet of gas per day each. LNG exports are expected to commence in 2015.
