Australia Pacific LNG, a joint venture between Origin Energy, ConocoPhillips and Sinopec, is developing an integrated coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) project to provide domestic and overseas customers with high quality natural gas.
The gas will be sourced at multiple sites within Queensland’s Bowen and Surat Basins, then transported via a 530km pipeline to an LNG facility on Curtis Island off the coast of Gladstone, Queensland.
On the 29th July, 2013, Clarke Energy was awarded the contract to supply electricity to one of the Australia Pacific LNG coal seam gas processing facilities at Reedy Creek in the remote Queensland outback under a Temporary Power Services Agreement. The rental agreement is to design and construct a fully operational temporary power station, with an installed capacity of 30MWe utilising ten of GE’s high efficiency 3MWe J620 Jenbacher gas engines, and to fully integrate the electricity generated into the Reedy Creek Gas Processing Facility. This agreement will support a constant power supply, using locally extracted coal seam gas, until the permanent electrical infrastructure is available.
The temporary power station will use Clarke Energy’s modular power station concept in which each gas engine generating set is housed in an individual enclosure. This concept, which has been successfully proven at twelve other sites within Australia since 2006, incorporates many features to facilitate safer operation and maintenance, reliable performance under Australian outback conditions, and incorporation of Australian Standards, local legislation requirements, and oil and gas industry best practices.
