Arrow’s Surat Gas Project has hit a major milestone with the completion ahead of schedule of a new gas processing facility near Dalby in Queensland.

The new Harry Inlet Processing Facility (IPF), about 27 kilometres south-west of Dalby, will remove water and other impurities from coal seam gas produced in the area before the gas is transported to Shell’s QGC by pipeline.

The facility is part of Arrow’s Surat Gas Project, one of the largest gas developments on Australia’s east coast, with hundreds of coal seam gas wells to be developed in its first phase.

“All up about 180 Arrow staff, contractors and sub-contractors worked on the project, many living locally or based in the area,” said Arrow CEO Cecile Wake.

“With the wet weather of the past 12 months, completing construction of the Harry processing facility ahead of schedule is a great reflection of the dedication and hard work of everyone involved.”

Ms Wake said the new facility was expected to start operations later this quarter. The new facility allows Arrow to increase gas supply to the QGC-operated Harry field compression station.

“The Harry IPF follows the David IPF, which came online last year, and together these facilities show how the momentum of the Surat Gas Project is building,” Ms Wake said.

“Construction of the facility is a great example of how large-scale projects can create jobs and deliver financial benefits for local businesses and the broader community.”
