Bechtel announced today it has successfully converted natural gas from coal seams into Liquefied Natural Gas ready for export, a world first. Loading of a BG Group LNG vessel is underway at the Queensland Curtis LNG plant, one of three projects Bechtel is simultaneously building on Curtis Island on the east coast of Australia. Bechtel is currently building six production trains on Curtis Island, which will produce about 25 million tonnes of LNG annually when complete in early 2016. Bechtel is also the principal downstream contractor for the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project in Western Australia.
