Santos On Track With Gladstone LNG

Santos is expected to begin exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Gladstone, in central Queensland, from 2015.

Santos has a 30% stake in the $16 billion GLNG project, which was approved early last year.

Two LNG trains will be built on Curtis Island, off Gladstone, and will deliver up to 7.8 million tonnes of gas per year.

Two companies have already agreed to purchase seven million tonne LNG per year from the project.

The Curtis Island facility will be linked by more than 400 kilometres of pipelines from the Surat and Bowen basins.

The first 150 kilometres of pipes will be delivered to Gladstone this month and laid in the first half of this year.
