SANTOS COAL SEAM GAS TO
PRODUCE 4 MILLION TONS LNG . . .
as it works to secure a site at Gladstone
(Queensland) for a project to process
coal seam gas to be sold as LNG into
export markets, according to Industrial
Info Resources. The company carried out
extensive feasibility and site selection
studies, which led to an agreement for
Santos to secure a site for the project on
Curtis Island.
“This is a landmark project for
Santos, which will underwrite the con-
tinued growth of the coal seam gas
industry in Queensland, and is a major
step forward in the development of a
new export gas industry for the state.
Gladstone LNG is a natural extension
of Santos’ core gas business, in line with
our strength as Australia’s largest pro-
ducer of domestic natural gas, includ-
ing coal seam gas. Queensland has the
majority of Australia’s abundant CSG
resources. Our CSG reserves and con-
tingent resources currently total over
5,000 petajoules with significant upside
potential,” said managing director John
Ellice-Flint.
Santos (Adelaide, Australia) con-
structs and operates onshore gas installa-
tions and has interests in Darwin LNG,
the most recent Greenfield LNG project
constructed in Australia. The new CSG
project would have a single processing
train of 3 to 4 million tons of LNG
annually. This investment would include
upstream field development, liquefac-
tion plant and associated infrastructure.
Half of this investment is expected to be
in the Gladstone plant and the balance
in Bowen and Surat Basins, which will
supply 170-220 petajoules of gas per
annum.
