A full list of activities necessary to complete the ILUA project can be found in the Notice of an application to register an area agreement. Background to the ILUA The project The Australia Pacific LNG Project is a coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) project The Pipeline Project comprises the construction and operation of a high pressure underground gas transmission pipeline system from Australia Pacific LNG's gas fields in south central Queensland to the LNG facility on Curtis Island near Gladstone, Queensland. The pipeline will facilitate the transmission of coal seam gas to the Curtis Island plant to be liquefied and exported. The area of the pipeline will occupy a 40 to 50 metre corridor of approximately 2,350 hectares (Australia Pacific LNG, 2010). Overall the entire Australia Pacific LNG Project consists of three key parts: 1. Further development of Australia Pacific LNG's gas fields in the Surat and Bowen Basins in south-west and central Queensland; 2. Construction of a 520km gas transmission pipeline from the gas fields to an LNG facility on Curtis Island off the coast of Gladstone; and 3. An LNG facility on Curtis Island off the coast of Gladstone, with the first two gas production trains processing up to 9 million tonnes per annum. The parties Australia Pacific LNG is a joint venture between three industry companies in the fields of coal seam gas and liquefied natural gas production - Origin (42.5%), ConocoPhillips (42.5%) and Sinopec (15%). Origin is also responsible for the construction of the pipeline (Australia Pacific LNG Project Partners).
