KBR Awarded Engineering Design Services Contract for Australian Coal Seam Gas Pipelines

KBR KBR today announced that it has been selected to execute engineering design services for three coal seam gas pipelines designed to carry CSG from gasfields in central Queensland, Australia to an export facility on Curtis Island. The project will be executed for the McConnell Dowell/CCC joint venture on behalf of clients Queensland Curtis LNG and Asia Pacific LNG. KBR will execute engineering design services including pipeline design, process, civil and structural, mechanical and electrical engineering and instrument controls for the three CSG pipelines. For QCLNG, KBR will design a pipeline from central Queensland to the coast that consists of more than 580 kilometers (360 miles) of pipelines, including: a 42-inch diameter coal seam gas pipeline (approximately 374 kilometers/232 miles); a 42-inch diameter CSG collection header pipeline (approx 169 kilometers/105 miles); and six collection laterals of 12-24 inch diameter (5.4 kilometers/3.4 miles).
