A four billion (Australian) dollar scheme to produce natural gas from the North West Shelf will bring a growth boom to an area rich in energy and mineral resources. The project will begin with production at the offshore North Rankin field, process liquified natural gas (LNG) onshore, and transport it to three closed link inland markets at a competitive cost. Woodside Petroleum Ltd. is responsible for planning the joint venture. Engineering plans are outlined for the two production platforms and the pipeline, and liquefaction facility. Australian expertise in the project is welcome, but the joint venturers will use the best professionals regardless of nationality to meet the demands of a competitive technology and market. (DCK)
