Driving productivity improvements: 12 months of improvement under GR Production Services’ outsourced operations at Moranbah Gas Project

Abstract

Since assuming responsibility for the Operatorship of the Moranbah Gas Project (MGP) Operation in August 2023, GR Production Services (GRPS) has delivered several key benefits, significantly enhancing the plant’s overall performance and sustainability. Operational efficiency: GRPS implemented right sized, risk-based operational strategies and leveraged collective team expertise to streamline processes and reduce downtime. This resulted in increased production efficiency and reliability, ensuring a steady supply of gas and minimising interruptions. Safety and compliance: a strong emphasis on safety and regulatory compliance has been a hallmark of GRPS’ management. By introducing rigorous safety protocols and regular training programs, we have ensured a safe working environment, resulting in zero harm in our first year of operation whilst also fostering a culture of safety among employees. Cost management: through meticulous cost management practices, GRPS has achieved significant cost savings. This has been accomplished by reducing waste, enhancing maintenance practices and negotiating terms with suppliers, ultimately improving the plant’s financial performance. Environmental stewardship: GRPS has made strides in minimising the environmental impact of the MGP Operation. We have introduced measures to reduce emissions and manage waste responsibly, contributing to the broader goal of environmental protection. Community engagement: recognising the importance of community relations, GRPS has actively engaged with the local community in Moranbah. We have supported local initiatives, provided employment opportunities and sought that our operations positively impact the surrounding area. Overall, GRPS’ stewardship has led to a more efficient, safe and sustainable MGP Operation; benefiting stakeholders and the local community alike.
