May 17 (LNGJ) - Arrow LNG Project, involving Royal Dutch Shell, PetroChina and Arrow Energy, has invited four parties to tender for the design and construction of the upstream coal-seam-gas to-LNG venture's gas infrastructure in the Bowen and Surat basins in Queensland. The parties have been invited to tender for the front-end engineering and design for surface infrastructure, including well-head facilities, gas compressors as well as gathering and water treatment systems, Arrow said. The contract also includes the potential to roll over into subsequent Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management services (EPcM), subject to commercial attractiveness and a positive final investment decision around the end of 2013. Arrow Energy Chief Executive Andrew Faulkner said the invitation to tender for the FEED and EPcM represented a key milestone for Arrow's LNG project. "Arrow remains in a strong position to realise the potential of our significant gas reserves and this tender is the next major step in progressing our LNG project," Faulkner said. The outcome of the FEED and EPcM tender is expected to be announced later this year, it added
