文档介绍：FACT SHEET NO. 42 Queensland natural gas explorer and producer QGC is assessing the potential to further develop its reserves in central and southern Queensland for domestic and export markets. This fact sheet outlines the activities involved in exploring for natural gas in coal seams and sandstone formations in these areas. An overview of our project QGC was among the panies to recognise the potential role of Queensland’s significant natural gas resources in meeting increasing global demand for cleaner sources of energy. Today we are constructing Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG), one of Australia’s largest capital infrastructure projects, to turn our natural gas reserves in the Surat and Bowen basins into liquefied natural gas (LNG). QCLNG involves expanding QGC’s existing gas operations in southern and central Queensland and transporting the gas through a 540km one-metre buried work to a liquefaction plant on Curtis Island near Gladstone. At the plant, the gas will be cooled to -162°C, at which point it es a liquid, or LNG, making it easier to transport great distances in specially-designed ships. QGC already has LNG sales agreements in place to supply Queensland, China, Japan, Chile and Singapore. Exploration for natural gas QGC mitted to negotiating in good faith to reach voluntary agreements with landholders so we may enter their land Quick facts ? QGC holds licences from the Queensland Government called Authorities to Prospect that allow us to explore in areas known as tenements ? We work with landholders and others on the location of infrastructure as projects develop ? QGC’s natural gas exploration program will be undertaken predominantly by specialist panies Our exploration activities For more than 10 years, QGC has been essfully exploring for natural gas in the Surat and Bowen basins. QGC is now exploring for natural gas – the same methane we use for heating our homes, powering our cars and buses and generating electric
