The contract is for construction of a new onshore gas plant in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

The DCDP will recover and process gas reserves from the Reindeer gas field located approximately 80 km northwest of Port Dampier. The scope of works includes the construction of an onshore processing facility with specific capabilities in gas treatment/dehydration, condensate liquid stabilisation, storage and road loadout, gas compression and metering.

The new processing facility, to be known as the Devil Creek Gas Plant, will be located approximately 50 km from Karratha and in close proximity to the North West Coastal Highway.

The project will commence in September 2009, with completion expected by mid-2011.

An onshore pipeline will also be constructed, along with a connection to the existing Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline.

John Holland Structural Mechanical Process General Manager, Brendan Petersen, said “This new work is part of our long term strategy to bring the full scope of our construction services to bear on emerging oil and gas projects across Australia. We look forward to working closely with Apache Energy to move this project forward in the coming months.”
