Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) is proposing a coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) development project in Queensland.
Australia Pacific LNG has Australia’s largest CSG reserves position and is well placed to enable the creation of a world-class, long-term industry in Queensland.
The Project consists of:
- Further development of Australia Pacific LNG's existing coal seam gas fields in the Surat and Bowen basins.
- Construction of a gas transmission pipeline approximately 450 kilometres long from the coal seam gas fields to an LNG plant at Gladstone.
- Development of the LNG plant which will have a processing capacity of up to 18 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).
Project benefits
The Australia Pacific LNG Project will generate significant benefits at regional, state and national levels, including:
- Significant capital investment through to 2020.
- Creation of a new, long-term gas processing and export industry in Queensland.
- Creation of up to 5,000 direct jobs during the peak construction phase which includes the gas fields, gas pipeline and LNG facility
- Creation of 1,000 jobs during the operation of the Project
- Opportunities to increase local skills capacity via apprenticeships, scholarships and vocational training
- Expenditure in regional economies through the purchase and use of local goods and services, where practicable, for the construction and operation of the plant.
