Projects

The Pluto LNG project processes gas from the Pluto gas field in the Carnarvon Basin about 190km northwest of Karratha, Western Australia.

Pluto LNG Project Details:

The initial phase of the project was comprised of an offshore platform in 85m of water, connected to five subsea wells on the gas field. Gas was then piped in a 180km trunkline to the onshore facility, located between the North West Shelf Project and Dampier Port on the Burrup Peninsula. Onshore infrastructure comprised of a single LNG processing train with a forecast production capacity of 4.3 million tonnes a year.

Pluto LNG Project Highlights & Challenges:

Working closely with Foster Wheeler a company with many operating centre’s, M-BIM Vircon outperformed schedule requirements utilizing majority of their Tekla team to complete some of the largest modules done to date.

M-BIM Vircon’s Scope of Work:

M-BIM Vircon’s scope included 3D BIM modelling and detailing of 12,000 tonnes of modular steelwork and a stick built scope of 2,665 tonnes. The Onshore infrastructure in which M-BIM Vircon serviced comprised of the storage and loading facilities including two LNG tanks, condensate tanks and an export jetty.
