Gas TransmissionPipeline ConstructionConnecting fuel source to
energy hub
The Santos GLNG Project is a pioneering venture to convert coal
seam natural gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) for
export
to global markets. It represents a major investment in a cleaner
energy source for the future.
The Project involves the development of the Santos GLNG gas elds
in the Bowen and Surat Basins, the construction of a 420km
underground gas transmission pipeline from Roma to Gladstone and
a two-train LNG processing facility on Curtis Island at
Gladstone.
The Project is a joint venture between Santos and three of the
worlds largest energy companies, PETRONAS, Total and KOGAS.
What is the gas transmission pipeline?
The underground gas transmission pipeline is a critical
component of the Santos GLNG Project, transporting gas
from CSG elds near Injune to the LNG facility in Gladstone.
What is the pipeline route?
The Santos GLNG Project underground gas
transmission pipeline will be closely aligned with
the existing Queensland Gas Pipeline for much of its length.It
will start approximately 40km east of Injune and travel
north up the eastern side of Arcadia Valley. The pipeline
will approach Gladstone from the south west, entering the
Gladstone State Development Area and crossing Port Curtis
between Friend Point and Laird Point.
To minimise impacts on the marine environment, the
pipeline crossing the narrows will be installed under the
seabed without dredging or trenching.

What is the construction
process?
The diagram below shows the broad
steps involved in building the pipeline:
How will the Santos GLNG
Project work
with landholders?
The Santos GLNG Project has been inregular communication with
regionalcouncils and landholders along thepipeline to keep the
community abreast
of its developments. The Project isworking closely with affected
landholders
to ensure they have a full understandingof expected activity on
their properties.A number of mitigation strategies willbe put in
place to minimise impacts
and manage activities such as noise anddust, weed management,
and trafc
and transport. Community informationsessions are being held
during thedevelopment of the pipeline to keep
the local community up-to-date on theproject and how the Santos
GLNGProject is working to minimise impact.
Where will workers live?
Workers will be housed in temporaryaccommodation camps along the
pipelineroute. Camps will be self-contained,
minimising disturbance to local communities.
How will the
Santos GLNG Project
access the pipeline?
All project-related movements willbe restricted to existing
public roads,approved access tracks and the pipeline
corridor where possible. Landholders andregulatory authorities
will be consulted todetermine exact access points.New tracks will
avoid sensitive areas
where possible, and will be positioned tominimise disturbance.
Temporary trackswill be rehabilitated upon completion.
Survey the pipeline route
Prepare access tracks andtemporary facilities
Clear the pipeline corridor andinstall temporary fences and
gates
Layout pipes and preparefor bending and welding
Dig the trench and stockpiletopsoil nearby
Backfll and compact the trenchusing trench spoil where
suitable

Can the land above
the pipeline be used
ater construction?
Yes. The pipeline will be buried deepenough and will be
rehabilitated toallow landholders to reuse the land.
Will signs be erected to
show where the pipeline
is located?
Signs will be placed along the lengthof the pipeline. They will
be spaced nomore than 500m apart in rural areasand considerably
closer in areas with
more people or increased activity.
