N2  - The South West Queensland Gas Project is the first greenfield gas development in the Cooper Basin for around 10 years. This has allowed a decade of operating experience from wet gas fields in the region to be applied in the design of the new facility. The design also took into consideration potential future expansion of the facility for increased throughput and the production of sales gas to service markets to the east and north.A greenfield hydrocarbon development in such a remote location is much more than just a gathering system and processing facility. A full range of infrastructure was also developed including telecommunications, roads, airstrip, accommodation and utilities.The project offered opportunities for a wide variety of Australian vendors and construction contractors. Many demonstrated a high level of capability to meet the cost, schedule and quality demands of a hydrocarbon development in the 1990s. Unfortunately, a number failed to demonstrate that capability.
