Oil and Gas Bulletin Current Features
Gorgon Project
Chevron Australia is picking up the pace with its Greater Gorgon project and estimates that key contracts involved in the project were inching towards the $17 billion mark. Site works are advancing at Town Point on Barrow Island where the LNG jetty will be built. The joint venture will include three, 5 million tonne per annum LNG trains, a 300 terajoules per day domestic gas plant and establishment of international shipping facilities.

Pluto LNG
The Pluto Gas field is forging ahead in 2010. The gas field contains around 4.4 trillion cubic feet of dry gas and the nearby Xena gas field holds an additional 600 billion cubic feet, which will be incorporated into the project at a later stage. Gas will be piped about 180km to the onshore plant via a 36-inch pipeline.

Communications – A Vital Link
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has made a new Emergency Call Service Determination which governs how telecommunications providers receive, handle and transfer emergency calls and NewSat has been awarded communications contracts with Gorgon LNG.

Fabrications
The Civmec Construction and Engineering facility at the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, WA is expected to be the size of two Australian Rules football ovals and will provide essential services for the booming LNG sector.

Pipes and Pipelines
Australia’s gas industry is well placed to drive the transition to a low carbon economy, and will play a vital role in the next 20 years. APIA estimates that if coal was entirely replaced by gas in electricity generation, Australia’s total emissions would drop by over 20 per cent. Professor Valerie Linton has also been appointed the inaugural CEO of the Energy Pipelines Cooperative Research Centre.

Safety
CSIRO scientists have created computer modelled ‘rogue waves’ more than 20 metres high and smashed them into virtual oil and gas platforms to compare different mooring designs. The computer modelling project compares how different types of semi-submersible oil rigs withstand the effects of giant waves in the ocean. The program will analyse the safest and most efficient designs for future oil and gas platforms.
