Client: Shell-operated QCLNG Project, Curtis Island, Queensland
Sector: Oil & Gas – LNG Processing & Export
Project Overview
The Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) project is a major LNG export facility converting coal seam gas into liquefied natural gas for international markets. As one of the world’s first CSG-to-LNG projects, QCLNG operates under extreme conditions and requires high-integrity equipment to maintain safe, continuous operation. Pacific Hoseflex was engaged to support the facility with custom-engineered stainless steel hose assemblies — critical components in the plant’s fluid transfer systems.
Our Scope
Pacific Hoseflex was responsible for the assembly and supply of stainless steel metallic hoses designed to meet the demanding operational requirements of the LNG industry. Our solution included:
-
Vitalflex® Stainless Steel Hose Assemblies
Precision-assembled hoses built to withstand cryogenic temperatures, high pressure, and corrosive environments — delivering exceptional performance and durability in a 24/7 processing facility.
Challenges
-
The LNG environment presented extreme cryogenic and high-pressure conditions that demanded reliable, high-strength materials.
-
All components required custom engineering and assembly to ensure seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
-
Maintaining zero-leak performance was essential for meeting safety, efficiency, and environmental standards.
Outcome
Pacific Hoseflex’s hose assemblies provided:
-
Safe and efficient fluid transfer within the QCLNG facility.
-
Durability and corrosion resistance, thanks to high-grade stainless steel construction.
-
Reliable performance under extreme conditions, reducing maintenance and operational risk.
-
Smooth project integration, with each hose customised to precise specifications for a streamlined installation.
