Client GLNG – Curtis Island, Queensland
Sector Oil & Gas – LNG Processing & Export
Project Overview
The GLNG (Gladstone Liquefied Natural Gas) project is a major LNG development led by Santos, located on Curtis Island near Gladstone, Queensland. The plant converts coal seam gas from Queensland’s Surat and Bowen Basins into liquefied natural gas for export to global markets. Operating in a demanding and remote environment, the facility required robust, high-integrity hose systems for safe and efficient gas processing.
Our Scope
Pacific Hoseflex was contracted to assemble and supply stainless steel metallic hoses tailored to meet the high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosion-resistant requirements of LNG fluid transfer applications.
- Stainless Steel Hose Assemblies
These Vitalflex® assemblies were engineered to deliver long-term durability and performance under cryogenic and harsh chemical conditions — essential for GLNG’s continuous operations.
Challenges
- The plant’s remote location required reliable, high-quality components with minimal need for maintenance or replacement.
- Hoses had to withstand extreme temperature variations, vibration, and corrosive gas mixtures typical of LNG production.
- Assemblies needed to be customised for integration with existing systems and meet stringent industry standards for safety and performance.
Outcome
Pacific Hoseflex’s stainless steel hose assemblies delivered:
- Safe and efficient fluid transfer across critical processing units.
- Resistance to corrosion and fatigue, extending service life and reducing downtime.
- Precision-engineered components, manufactured to fit seamlessly into the plant’s infrastructure.
- A trusted solution backed by local expertise, responsive service, and certified Australian manufacturing.
