EnerMech Wins Five Year LNG Contract in Oz

EnerMech Australia has been awarded a five-year contract to provide specialist nitrogen and flange management services to an LNG facility in central Queensland, it said October 2 without naming the facility.

The work will be conducted on-site, located off the coast of Gladstone, Queensland, with project engineering and management conducted from EnerMech’s Gladstone facility and Brisbane office, the company said.

EnerMech will deploy liquid nitrogen converters, nitrogen membrane generation units, flange management torque/tensioning equipment and use its system integrity management software SIMPro in the provision of the specialist services, it said. 

At present, Queensland has three coalbed methane-based LNG export projects: ConocoPhillips-Origin Energy Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), Shell’s Queensland Curtis LNG and the Santos-led Gladstone LNG.  In 2018, Queensland projects shipped record 20.57mn mt of LNG from Port of Gladstone, up 1.7% year-on-year.
