The bulk of the contract, which is expected to run for 15 months beginning in April 2009, will operate under a schedule of rates structure. The Pluto LNG project is situated on Western Australia’s Burrup Peninsula.
Richard Leupen, UGL managing director and chief executive officer said the company’s involvement in the Pluto LNG project built on its past involvement in the LNG sector, which included works on four of the five trains at the Woodside-operated North West Shelf Venture beginning in 1984.
“We are pleased to be involved in the Pluto LNG Project given its importance to Australia’s economy and Woodside’s target of making it the fastest-developed LNG plant to date,” Leupen said.
“As an Australian contractor we were particularly pleased to win this prestigious project against international and domestic competition.
“UGL Resources’ expansion in LNG is particularly timely given indications that this sector will remain an area of significant long-term development in Australia and overseas.”
