Sept 19 (LNGJ) - The Santos-operated Gladstone LNG export project in the Australian state of Queensland said it had completed the A$750 million (US$510M) Roma East feed-gas project with the coal-seam gas compression facility officially handed over to its operations team. The Roma East project involved bringing 480 CSG wells online, including drilling about 430 new wells and connecting existing appraisal wells.
“First gas from the Roma East field flowed in February 2019 and with commissioning now safely completed, the plant is fully operational,” said Santos. The project also includes about 420 kilometres of water, gas gathering and other pipelines, additional gas compression, 670 kilometres of power lines, 25 kilometres of fibre optic cables and a new water-handling facility for irrigation.
