Name of the Project
Tipton gas expansion project.

Location
The Tipton gas project is located 30 km west of Dalby, in Queensland’s Surat basin, in Australia.

Client
Arrow Energy, a joint venture between Shell and PetroChina.

Project Description
The project proposes the expansion of the Tipton gas project. 

This will involve a significant upgrade of existing facilities, and will more than double production capacity from Tipton to more than 80 TJ/d.

The planned expansion of the Tipton operations is expected to involve 90 new wells in the initial phase and another 180 wells over the next 25 years – along with new gathering lines, an upgraded water treatment facility and four new compressors.

The proposed project follows a recent $600-million investment by Arrow in its Surat basin infrastructure, comprising the $500-million Daandine expansion project, commissioned in late 2016, and the start of a $100-million Produce the Limit (PtL) project earlier this year, to expand capacity at its Daandine and Tipton fields.

The Daandine, PtL and Tipton expansion pro-jects will bring Arrow’s Surat gas production to more than 170 TJ/d, for domestic and export use.
