Engineering services firm Foster Wheeler has announced that a subsidiary of its Global Engineering and Construction Group has secured a contract from Santos to undertake the front-end engineering design for Santos's GLNG Upstream Project in Queensland, Australia.
Santos's GLNG Upstream Project involves the extraction of coal-seam gas from the Fairview, Roma and Arcadia fields in Central Queensland and the supply of coal-seam gas to a planned onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility.
The front-end engineering design (FEED) to be undertaken by Foster Wheeler is for the extraction, collection, compression and transportation of coal-seam gas to the transmission pipeline, and associated infrastructure and services, including power generation and water treatment facilities.
Foster Wheeler will perform the FEED, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2010 from its Reading, UK, office and from Brisbane, Australia. The Foster Wheeler contract value for the project was not disclosed and will be included in the company's second-quarter of 2009 bookings.
Michael Beaumont, chairman and CEO of Foster Wheeler Energy, said: "The upstream and LNG sectors, both strategically important sectors for Foster Wheeler, are sectors in which we can demonstrate a long and successful track record and in-depth technical expertise."
