Origin Energy brings new gas on stream for APLNG

Origin Energy Ltd’s new Talinga Orana gas gathering station is on stream in south-east Queensland, adding supply to the Australia Pacific LNG plant on Curtis Island near Gladstone.

The new facility, built and commissioned by contractors Monadelphous and MAN Energy Solutions, is a dual train gas gathering station about 30 km south-west of the Queensland town of Chinchilla.

The facility enables Origin Energy to maximise coal seam gas production from Talinga and Orana fields in the surrounding Surat basin.

Origin is also the upstream operator for Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) and responsible for the development of its coal seam gas fields in both the Surat and Bowen basins of onshore Queensland along with the main transmission pipeline to transports gas to the LNG facility.

APLNG has been designed with a 30-year lifespan. It came on stream in 2015 and shipped its first LNG cargo in January 2016.

Origin and ConocoPhillips each hold 37.5% interest. Sinopec holds 25%.
