Baosteel to supply Australia’s largest diameter gas pipe: QGC

Thu, 18 March 2010

Queensland Gas Company has awarded Baosteel subsidiary Howa Trading Co. a contract for the manufacture of 550 km of pipeline for its Queensland Curtis LNG Project.

The 42 inch diameter AP15L X70 coated pipe will be manufactured by Baosteel in Shanghai, with deliveries to Brisbane and Gladstone starting in October in 2010.

The pipe represents the collection header pipeline and 340 km main export line that will transport 190 PJ/a of coal seam gas (CSG) to an $US7.4 billion onshore CSG to LNG production and export facility in Gladstone from BG Group subsidiary Queensland Gas Company’s CSG fields in southern Queensland’s Surat Basin.

Queensland Gas Company said that the pipeline, which will be the largest diameter gas pipe laid onshore in Australia, cannot be manufactured by Australian steel mills due to its size.

The company said that a contractor for installation will be decided later in 2010.
