Monadelphous, the Australian engineering company based in Perth, was awarded a A$600 million (US$453M) contract by LNG producer Woodside Petroleum for the provision of gas asset general maintenance services over the next five years.

The Australian APA Group, the Sydney-based company that previously purchased an LNG feed-gas pipeline in Queensland, said it planned to build a new gas pipeline as part of an expansion to its East Coast grid.

Woodside Petroleum, the largest Australian LNG producer, has finally completed its entry into the new oil, gas and LNG province offshore Senegal in West Africa after receiving government approval despite plans by another Australian energy company to seek international arbitration in a dispute over the Woodside buy-in.

The American Bureau of Shipping, the US maritime classification society has granted Approval in Principle (AIP) for a floating LNG power plant and floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) design concepts developed by Japan’s Chiyoda Corp.
