The final module has been installed on the two LNG processing trains of the 7.8mn t/yr Gladstone LNG (GLNG) project being built in Queensland, Australia.
The last of the 111 modules used to build the two trains was installed earlier this week, Australian independent Santos said. Train one comprises 82 modules, while train two has 29. Today's update follows this week's notification about the completion of the first of its three gas processing hubs at the Fairview coal-bed methane gas field near Roma in southwest Queensland.
Fairview hub 5 is now fully operational, with commissioning progressing at GLNG's two other major processing hubs, Fairview 4 and Roma 2. The completion of the first hub follows delivery of first gas into the Santos GLNG pipeline last month and the completion of hydro testing of the second LNG storage tank on Curtis island.
The $18.5bn GLNG project was almost 90pc complete at the end of September and was on track for first shipments by mid-2015, Santos said. It owns 30pc of GLNG, partnering Total, Malaysian state-owned energy firm Petronas and South Korean gas firm Kogas.
