Monadelphous wins $250m Qld works

Monadelphous Group has been awarded three contracts with a combined value of about $250 million on the massive Australia Pacific LNG project in Queensland.

Monadelphous will construct an upstream gas processing facility that will process gas from the project's gathering network for delivery to its main pipeline.

It will also install a pipeline compression facility and an interconnect facility, enabling the transfer of gas between networks.

The work will be completed in line with APLNG's schedule to deliver first LNG in mid-2015.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with Australia Pacific LNG on this significant coal seam gas project in Queensland," Monadelphous managing director Rob Velletri said.

"These contracts further strengthen our reputation in the delivery of major oil and gas projects in Australia and overseas."

The $24.7 billion APLNG project, a joint venture between Origin Energy, ConocoPhillips and Sinopec, will consist of two processing trains, each with a nameplate production capacity of 4.5 million tonnes per annum.

Production from the second train is expected to begin in late 2015.
